Antidepressants work by balancing chemicals called neurotransmitters that affect mood and emotions. In the 1950s, two drugs intended for other purposes - iproniazid for tuberculosis and imipramine for allergies - were found to improve patients' moods. These drugs were found to affect monoamines, leading to the hypothesis that depression results from insufficient monoamines and these drugs help restore balance by increasing monoamine availability. In the 1970s, research focused on serotonin as the key monoamine. This led to the 1988 development of Prozac, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor with fewer side effects. Through the 1990s, antidepressant use grew substantially. Antidepressants are often used along with psychotherapy to

Drugsandthe Brain Part6 Stimulants
Stimulants such as cocaine, amphetamines, caffeine, and nicotine act on the brain to produce feelings of increased alertness and euphoria. They do this primarily by increasing the activity of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. However, regular use can also lead to dependence and negative health effects such as psychosis or panic attacks. Many were first used medically but are now also widely abused recreationally.

The document discusses analgesics and their classification. It describes two main groups - opioid and non-opioid analgesics. Opioid analgesics include natural alkaloids like morphine and codeine, semi-synthetic opiates, and synthetic opioids. They work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and body. Non-opioid analgesics include NSAIDs which reduce pain by decreasing inflammation. Common side effects of opioid analgesics include respiratory depression, constipation, and nausea, while non-opioid analgesics can cause upset stomach, dizziness, and rashes.
sedative & hypnotics.pptx
Sedatives produce drowsiness without inducing sleep by decreasing activity and calming patients. Hypnotics induce sleep resembling natural sleep by producing drowsiness that results in sleep onset and sleep maintenance. Both act on the limbic system and midbrain. Lower doses of sedative hypnotics have an anxiolytic effect while higher doses produce sleep and therapeutic coma. These drugs are used to treat insomnia, anxiety, seizures, and to induce coma for head injuries. Common types are barbiturates and benzodiazepines, which have dose-dependent sedative, hypnotic, anesthetic and coma effects.
amphetamine.pptx
Amphetamine, is a compound discovered over 100 years ago and is one of the more restricted controlled drugs. It was previously used for a large variety of conditions and this changed until this point where its use is highly restricted. Amphetamine, with the chemical formula alpha-methylphenethylamine, was discovered in 1910 and first synthesized by 1927. After being proven to reduce drug-induced anesthesia and produce arousal and insomnia, amphetamine racemic mix was registered by Smith, Kline and French in 1935. Amphetamine structure presents one chiral center and it exists in the form of dextro- and levo-isomers.1 The first product of Smith, Kline and French was approved by the FDA on 1976.12
During World War II, amphetamine was used to promote wakefulness in the soldiers. This use derived into a large overproduction of amphetamine and all the surplus after the war finalized ended up in the black market, producing the initiation of the illicit abuse.1
Antipsychotic Agents
The document discusses antipsychotic agents and schizophrenia. It provides details on the history and development of antipsychotic medications, including the accidental discovery of chlorpromazine. It describes psychosis and the different types. The document discusses the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia and the roles of dopamine, serotonin, glutamate, and other neurotransmitters. It outlines animal models of schizophrenia and current understandings of the pathophysiology.

Benzodiazepine Project
Benzodiazepines are a class of central nervous system depressant drugs that are used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and seizures. They were discovered in 1954 by an Austrian chemist working for Hoffmann-La Roche and introduced in 1960 as Librium. Benzodiazepines work by suppressing the central nervous system and are used to treat anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, mood disorders, and alcohol or substance withdrawal, among other conditions. Withdrawal from benzodiazepines can cause anxiety, insomnia, gastrointestinal issues, seizures, and hyperactivity if stopped abruptly.
stimulants
Central nervous system stimulants work by increasing levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine. They cause initial feelings of euphoria and increased alertness and energy. However, regular use can lead to tolerance and dependence. Common stimulants include caffeine, nicotine, cocaine, and amphetamines. They are used both medically to treat conditions like ADHD, obesity, and narcolepsy, as well as recreationally for their mood enhancing effects. However, stimulants also carry health risks like increased blood pressure, anxiety, and addiction. Their effects are mediated through interactions with neurotransmitter systems in the brain.

This document discusses central nervous system (CNS) drugs. It classifies CNS drugs into three main categories: CNS depressants, CNS stimulants, and CNS modifiers (tranquilizers). CNS depressants are further divided into non-selective depressants like hypnotics and sedatives, and selective depressants like analgesics and anti-convulsants. CNS stimulants include cerebral stimulants, respiratory stimulants, analeptics, and psychomotor stimulants. CNS modifiers include major and minor tranquilizers used to treat mental disorders. The document also discusses the classification of CNS drugs based on their chemical structure, which includes barbiturates,
narcotics with its managements
Naloxone
Dose: 0.4-2mg IV/IM
Mechanism of Action:
Naloxone is a competitive opioid receptor antagonist that binds to opioid receptors with higher affinity than opiate drugs but does not activate the receptors. This displaces the opioid from the receptor sites and reverses the effects of opioid overdose.
Symptoms of Overdose:
- Respiratory depression
- Constricted pupils
- Sedation
- Hypotension
Management Includes:
- Administer naloxone
- Assist ventilation if needed
- Monitor vitals
- Treat hypotension with IV fluids
Cns depressants
Central nervous system (CNS) depressants are a class of drugs that slow down brain activity and cause muscles to relax. They include benzodiazepines, barbiturates, alcohol, opioids, and some sleeping pills. They work by enhancing the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA at GABAA receptors in the brain, resulting in sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, and muscle relaxant effects. While effective for treating conditions like anxiety and insomnia, long-term use can lead to tolerance, addiction, and withdrawal symptoms.
sedative-hypnotics drugs
This document discusses sedative-hypnotic drugs, which are medications used to reduce tension, anxiety, and induce sleep. Sedative refers to calming effects while hypnotic refers to sleep induction. Some common classes of sedative-hypnotics discussed are benzodiazepines and barbiturates. Specific drugs mentioned include Klonopin, Ativan, Xanax, Librium, Valium, and Phenobarbital. Side effects can include tolerance, memory impairment, confusion, sleepiness and drowsiness. Sedative-hypnotics work by enhancing the neurotransmitter GABA in the brain.

This document discusses various psychotropic drugs, including their classification, mechanisms of action, effects, and uses. It covers antipsychotic drugs, mood stabilizers like lithium, antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, and hallucinogens. Antipsychotics work primarily by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain and include first generation "typical" antipsychotics like chlorpromazine as well as newer "atypical" antipsychotics. Lithium is used to treat mania and bipolar disorder by stabilizing mood, though its exact mechanism is unknown. Hallucinogens can cause psychedelic experiences by mimicking serotonin and other neurotransmitters but are rarely used therapeutically.

Chapter 13 Psychiatric Medications
Psychotherapeutic medications have been used to treat mental illness for centuries. In the 1940s-1950s, early treatments included marijuana, amphetamines, insulin shock therapy, and electroshock therapy. In 1949, lithium was discovered and became one of the first psychotropic drugs used long-term to treat bipolar disorder. Chlorpromazine, first used in the 1950s, significantly reduced hospitalizations and led to deinstitutionalization, though this had some unintended consequences. Today, the most commonly prescribed medications are antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs, which provide relief for most patients.

Sedatives and hypnotics are central nervous system depressants that can calm patients or induce sleep. Sedatives decrease responsiveness to stimulation without causing sleep, while hypnotics induce sleep similar to normal sleep. Common classes include barbiturates and benzodiazepines. Barbiturates are older drugs with disadvantages like low therapeutic index and abuse potential. Benzodiazepines produce less neuronal depression and are preferred over barbiturates for sedation, anxiety, muscle spasms, and sleep disorders. Both classes are absorbed orally, distributed throughout the body, metabolized in the liver, and can cause side effects like dizziness.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
