Default Understanding anti-convulsants and SSRI's

So it appears that most of us are on some treatment based on anticonvulsants and/or SSRI's and i have never understood why exactly is it that they are the standard prescription for cases of TBI and PCS. How is it that they work? Do some work better than others? Are they just for managing the symptoms or do they have any value for treating the underlying condition?

Thanks for your help
