what is ESRS scale
Extrapyramidal Symptoms Rating Scale (ESRS), Clinician Rated for parkinsonian symptoms, akathesia, dystonia, and tardive dyskinesia
Overall psychiatric functioning assessments
Clinical Global impressions (CGI)
CGI-S (severity)
CGI-I (improvement)
observer rated, used to assess change over time
Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF)
Clinician rated, variable results based on clinician evaluation and experience
what are the key etiologies of schizophrenia?
neurodevelopmental/anatomical (increased ventricle size and changes in white and grey matter), genetics, environmental, gene-environment interaction, and neuro-development environment interaction
what are the positive symptoms of schizophrenia
hallucinations, delusions, bizarre behavior, thought disorders
what are the negative symptoms of schizophrenia
blunted emotion, poor self care, social withdrawal, poverty in speech
what are the cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia
decrease in cognitive function involving D1 and glutamate receptors
Serotonin Hypothesis of Schizophrenia
5HT2A receptor is mediator of hallucinations, antagonism and inverse agonism linked to antipsychotic activity
Glutamate hypothesis of schizophrenia
phencyclidine and ketamine are NMDA (glutamate receptor) inhibitors, exacerbate psychosis and cognitive deficits***
Dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia
Dopamine receptor antagonists - D2 binding affinity = clinically effective
Dopaminergic agents exacerbate schizophrenia symptoms, increased D2 receptor density in schizophrenia patients
What are the 5HT2A receptor antagonists
clozapine, olanzapine, and risperidone
a1 receptor blockade effects
hypotension and sedation
a2 receptor blockade effects
beneficial in therapy
Muscarinic receptor blockade effects and drugs
anticholinergic effects, clozapine thioridazine
H1 receptor antagonists effects
sedation and weight gain
D2 antagonist effects in basal ganglia (nigrostriatal pathway)
motor effects and EPS (parkinsonian symptoms)
D2 antagonist effects in mesolimbic pathway
primary therapeutic effects
d2 antagonist effects in medulla
anti-emetics
EPS - what is it and occurance
Extrapyramidal symptoms (dystonia, pseudo parkinsonism, tremor, akathisia)
Occur early and is reversible
Drug therapy for EPS
anticholinergics (benztropine) and antihistamines (benadryl), and dopamine releasing agents (amantadine), and propanolol
what is tardive dyskinesia
super sensitivity of receptors to dopamine, rhythmic involuntary movement, jerky-random movement, occurs months to years and is irreversible
how to monitor for tardive dyskinesia
AIMS (abnormal involuntary movement scale)
tardive dyskinesia treatment
VMAT inhibitors
VMAT inhibitors names
tetrabenazine, valbenazine, deutetrabenazine
VMAT2 inhibitors treatment
Add-on treatment for tardive dyskinesia
what is NMS
neuroleptic malignant syndrome (rare)
EPS symptoms with fever, impaired cognition, and muscle rigidity (fatal)
neuroleptic malignant syndrome treatment
DA agonist, diazepam, dantrolene (skeletal muscle relaxant)
what antipsychotic is used for tourettes?
Orap (pimozide)
muscarinic receptor blockade effects
dry mouth, difficulty urinating, constipation (SSPS)
alpha blockade effects
hypotension, impotence
dopamine blockade effects
parkinsons symptoms, akathesia, dystonia
supersensitivity of dopamine receptor effects
tardive dyskinesia
muscarinic blockade effects in CNS
toxic-confusional state
H1 blockade effects in CNS
sedation, weight gain
hyperprolactinemia effects
amenorrhea, infertility,, impotence
H1 and 5HT2 blockage
sedation and weight gain
Contraindications for antipsychotics
cardiovascular disease, parkinsons, epilepsy (clozapine), and diabetes (newer agents)
what does high 5HT2A/D2 ratio cause?
weight gain/metabolic effects
what does high clinical potency/D2 cause?
more risk for EPS
What are sedative properties caused by?
H1 block
what are hypotensive properties caused by?
A1 block
side effects of the typical first generation antipsychotics
more movement and EPS problems, strong D2 block, higher risk for tardive dyskinesia
Alphiatic phenothiazine drug
