114
How does alpha 2 antagonism work in regard to norephinephrine?
Normally, norepinephrine (NE) lands on the presynaptic alpha 2 receptor, and the system 'thinks' there is plenty of NE, so this leads to decreased NE. An alpha 2 antagonist blocks NE so the system thinks there is not enough NE, and NE increases.
115
How does alpha 2 antagonism work in regard to serotonin type neurons which have presynaptic alpha 2 receptors on them (i.e. heteroreceptors)?
Normally NE lands on the alpha 2 site leading the system to decrease serotonin release. When an alpha 2 antagonist lands on the site it leads to increased serotonin release
116

Emotional dysregulation as exaggerated reactions to negative or frustrating stimuli (unlike in impulsivity there is a rush of affect)
118
Emotional regulation involves what circuitry?
Orbital frontal cortex, amygdala, anterior cingulate, cerebellum (temporal)
119

125
Acute stimulation of 5HT2a in the spinal cord leads to what?
Inhibition of the spinal reflexes of orgasm and ejaculation
126
Acute stimulation of 5HT2a in the basal ganglia leads to?

Acute mental agitation, anxiety, panic attacks
128
Projection of 5HT neurons from the raphe nuclei to which area leads to therapeutic action?
Frontal cortex
129
What does the presence of serotonin in the synaptic space lead to?
Postsynaptic receptors become desensitized (2a, 2c, 3). These receptors send information to the cell nucleus of the postsynaptic neuron resulting in the instruction to downregulate these receptors. The time course for this to happen corresponds to the tolerance of side effects.
130
The increased ratio of serotonin to serotonin receptors after antidepressant treatment as a mechanism of action is supported by what evidence among other?
Deceased suicidal and otherwise depressed patients have had more 5-HT2A receptors than normal patients. These considerations suggest that 5-HT2A overactivity is involved in the pathogenesis of depression.
131
What serotonin receptor does trazadone block?
5HT2a receptor. It also blocks reuptake but less so than other agents
132
By what process does trazodone effet sleep?
By inhibiting histamine H1 leading to sedation and by inhibiting 5HT2a which induces and restores slow wave sleep
133
When selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor treatment is initiated where does serotonin first rise?
Cell bodies in the raphe nuclei and not at the axon terminal where the re-uptake pump is located (somatodendritic autoreceptors 5HT1a)
134
Increased serotonin at the somatodendritic autoreceptor 5HT1a leads to?
Downregulation and densitization. Once desensitized and down regulated it can no longer efffectively inhibit its own release and the serotonin neuron is disinhibited. This correlates with time of onset of anti-depressant action
135

136
Mirtazapine inhibits which serotonin and histamine receptors?
2a, 2c, 3, H1

5HT1a and therefore anxiolysis, antidepressant effects
143
How does alpha 2 antagonism increase the release of serotonin?
The locus coeruleus has norepinephrine neurons stimulating alpha 1 receptors in the midbrain which stimulates release of serotonin. When alpha 2 is antagonized this disinhibits release of norepinephrine. The norepinephrine stimulates alpha 1 which stimulates serotonin release
144
What is the most significant parental factor in the incidence of child psychopathology?

If tap = or > 3 times and blinking persists, it suggests inflexibility 3. Antisaccade test: 5x: 2x left, 2x right, 1x left 3. 2 stepped Luria, palm, fist hand. The most sensitive and specific are the smooth pursuit and the Luria.
168
Describe the 3 step Luria task, used to explore frontal lobe probolems?
With fingers fully extended and the patient following, the examiner places his right hand with a cutting motion on his right knee or on a table, then in a fist with the knuckles down, and then palm down with fingers extended. Examiner and patient then repeat this three more times. The hand motions could be reinforced by counting from 1 to 3 along with each segment, or by saying “cut, fist, and slap.” Patients are then asked to repeat the movements unguided by the examiner A score of 0 is recorded if the patient is unable to mimic the movement or complete three independent cycles. Performance on the Luria test is scored as normal or abnormal. The test is judged to be abnormal if the hand motions differed in type or sequence from that of the examiner. A common error was having the fingers flexed instead of extended for the first movement. (Weiner et al. 2011)
169
Describe the antisaccade test
The examiner faces the patient, holds his or her hands to either side of the patient's eyes, and asks the patient to look at the examiner's nose. She instructs the patient to deviate her eyes to the side of the examiner's briefly raised index finger and then return his or her gaze to the examiner's nose. Alternately, the examiner moves her right and then left index fingers. The patient looks towards the moving finger and then back at the examiner's nose. Once it is clear to the examiner that the patient has mastered this and looks to the moving finger and then back to the examiner's nose, the examiner asks the patient to look toward the opposite side, toward the side that does not move. Patients with frontal damage have trouble suppressing the urge to look at the moving finger and first look there before correcting. This test uncovers impulsivity and inattentiveness in children. It is performed five times, twice to the left, twice to the right, and then once to the left. Two or more failures count as an error. (Lewis et al. 2002)
170
Describe the smooth pursuit task to explore frontal lobe function
The examiner asks the patient to follow the examiner's smoothly moving finger as it goes slowly from left to right horizontally in front of the patient. An abnormal response would be visual tracking in brief, staccato, discontinuous (saccadic) jerks or inattentiveness with brief deviations of the patient's eyes from the examiner's finger rather than smooth movements. A normal response would be smooth visual tracking of the moving finger. The patient should also be able to stare for 30 seconds at the examiner's stationary finger without deviating his or her gaze. This helps to demonstrate an ability to concentrate. (Lewis et al. 2002)

177
What are the instructions for the Machover Draw-A-Person ?
In administering the DAP, the examiner always starts by providing the examinee with a blank sheet of paper and a pencil with eraser. The examiner then instructs the examinee to “draw a person”, thus, the name of the test. After drawing one person, the examinee then proceeds to draw another person of the opposite sex with the first one. The exam ends with the examinee narrating a story that features the figures he or she has drawn as characters. The figure of the same sex with that of the examinee is seen to be reflective of impulses the examinee finds acceptable while the unacceptable instincts are portrayed by the figure of the opposite sex Use 8 1/2 x 11" paper; pencil and eraser.

248
Avoidant and defended children do what regarding attachment?
Carers are anxious and rejecting when others place demands on them. Children cope by excluding attachment based feelings and behavior from conscious processing. Displays of need, weakness, dependency, vulnerability in the self or others make them anxious and avoidant. To be acceptable and increase others' availability they become emotionally self contained and are observant about feelings and behaviors in others. More extreme cases (abused) do not seek safety or comfort when ill, upset, vulnerable, or frightened. They have learned that care and protection are not unconditionally available and a state of need only seems to make matters worse. Attachment will trigger anxiety, distress, aggression. Rx: Adults acknowledge, explore, and reflect on their own feelings, especially of need and vulnerability.

251
What do children with ambivalent stances (resistant, dependent) show behaviorally?
Carers are inconsistent and poor at recognizing other people's needs and attachment signals. Children cope and adapt by maximizing their distress and attachment behavior to increase their chance of getting noticed. They have high anxiety around being ignored and left alone with their needs unmet and their arousal unregulated. They have little confidence in their own abilities to bring about change and get what they need. They have an angry, dissatisfied, demanding, needy, pleading, provocative approach to relationships. They have a drive to be noticed, valued, acknowledged, and recognized. Often in a crisis state and never satisfied. Rx: help children stop and reflect, help re-structure so they feel valued and worthwhile, and help them think through their feelings and behaviors.
252

256
How do children with disorganized attachment behave?
Carers are the direct cause of distress. When there is abuse, children suffer the worst elements of both avoidant and ambivalent caregiving environments. They experience both unpredictable danger and abandonment. Emotional arousal remains acutely and chronically activated. They focus on securing safety rather than pleasure in interactions with the caregiver. Parents do not attune with the child's mental state resulting in the child not having mental representations of their own or others' psychological makeup; therefore such children have difficulty regulating their own arousal; with maturation they are less helpless. They take control of their own safety and needs resulting in controlling strategies including compulsive compliance, compulsive caregiving, compulsive self-reliance, and coercion (threatening/aggression vs. helplessness/disarming). The coping strategies breakdown under stress, resulting in fright, anger, sadness, dysregulation. Rx: Feel safe to recognize, acknowledge, and process their emotions. Help them see that they feel safe in anxious control but that this denies understanding of others' and their minds.
