Q

How do antipsychotics work?

A

Blocking receptors in dopamine pathways. Dopamine firing associated with psychotic symptoms. Typical and atypical work the same, but atypical doesn’t have same extrapyramidal effects.

Typical antipsychotics associated with tardive dyskinesia

56
Q

How do mood stabilizers work?

A

Researchers unsure, but suspect that they affect certain neurotransmitters.

Mood stabilizers require several weeks to kick in

Anticonvulsant sometimes prescribed as initial treatment for acute mania

57
Q

SSRIs

A

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the brain that influences mood, emotion, and sleep. After transmitting signal, serotonin is absorbed by nerves

SSRI works by preventing absorption of serotonin, thereby allowing more serotonin to exist in brain for longer periods of time

58
Q

How do tricyclic antidepressants work?

A

Tricyclics block brain absorption of serotonin and norepinephrine

This allows for these chemicals to remain in brain longer and at higher levels than the person is accustomed

These are older antidepressants, and newer ones have fewer side effects

59
Q

What are MAOIs?

A

Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs)

Serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine are neurotransmitters associated with mood. Monoamine oxidase is an enzyme that assists with removing these neurotransmitters from the brain

MAOIs work by preventing monoamine oxidase from removing good mood transmitters, thereby leaving more in brain for longer periods of time

*avoid aged foods while taking MAOIs (cheese, wine, drinks with hops, pickles)

60
Q

Benzodiazepines

A

Anxiety causes overstimulation of the brain

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a neurotransmitter in the brain associated with mood, rational thought, relaxation. Gets released to counter anxiety firing

Benzodiazepines act as a sedative by enhancing effects of GABA

Safe for short term, but can be highly habit forming

61
Q

How do stimulants work (for ADHD)

A

People with ADHD have difficulty with concentration/focus due to hyperactive and impulsive behaviors

Stimulants increase dopamine in brain. This boosts concentration while diminishing hyperactive/impulsive behaviors
