Objective: While dysfunction of serotonin and dopamine
neurotransmitters has been studied in depth, in regard to the
etiology of mental illness, the neurotransmitter glutamate and
its dysfunction is now being explored as contributing to
neurodegenerative psychiatric diseases, schizophrenia, autism,
depression, and Alzheimer's disease. This article explains its
synthesis, neurotransmission, and metabolism within the brain
and subsequent dysfunction that is responsible for
neurocognitive loss associated with several psychiatric
disorders.
Method: The case study will report on the screening for
pseudobulbar affective (PBA) disorder in a 29-year-old male
with bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and intellectual
developmental disability who was experiencing extreme,
uncontrolled emotional outbursts requiring continuous family
isolation (pre-COVID-19) for safety. With the positive screen
for PBA, the patient was subsequently treated with a
glutamatergic drug, dextromethorphan/quinidine.
Results: The patient's unexpected response to this treatment
including the acquisition of language, increased cognition, and
improved executive functioning is presented. At 2 years post the
initiation of treatment, his PBA screening score is reduced,
uncontrolled outbursts and aggression have subsided, and the
family can spend time outside of their home.

4. Conclusions: Neurodegeneration and its impact is being
researched and treated with medications affecting glutamate.
The addition of a glutamatergic medication to this young man's
medication regimen has improved both his and his family's
quality of life. The psychiatric diagnoses, medications, and
treatments associated with glutamate are explained in depth.
The importance of nurses' understanding of glutamate, its
synthesis, transmission, and dysfunction causing excitotoxicity
and brain cell death and its impact on patients' behavior and
safety is explained.
