Serotonin Syndrome is a drug-induced condition caused by an overactivation of serotonin receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems. It typically results from acute overdose or drug interactions involving serotonergic medications (e.g., SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, tricyclic antidepressants, certain painkillers like tramadol, or recreational drugs like MDMA).
