Answer:

I'd say it does.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lexapro is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, which is a type of drugs that functions with the help of serotonin transporters (type of proteins). These type of drugs are used against depression and anxiety.

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter linked to the feeling of happiness and feeling good in general, which is why Lexapro is used against depression and anxiety.

Hope it helped,
