SSRIs and SNRIs are commonly used to treat depression. SSRIs work by blocking the reuptake of serotonin, increasing levels of the neurotransmitter in the brain. Common SSRIs include fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, and citalopram. SNRIs like venlafaxine also block the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. These drugs are generally well-tolerated but side effects may include nausea, insomnia, sexual dysfunction, and agitation. Guidelines recommend SSRIs as first-line treatment for moderate to severe depression.
The document compares the serotonergic antidepressants currently available in the US on variables such as indications, efficacy, structure, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, side effects, dosing preparations, and cost considerations. It discusses that while the drugs are structurally unrelated, they all inhibit neuronal reuptake of serotonin. Their potency and selectivity at the serotonin transporter varies, which may account for some differences seen between individual patient responses. Overall, all drugs are considered similarly effective compared to placebo and TCAs for treating conditions like depression and anxiety.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a class of antidepressants that work by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin. SSRIs include fluoxetine, sertraline, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, citalopram, and escitalopram. They are highly selective for serotonin reuptake compared to other neurotransmitters. While SSRIs share the common mechanism of inhibiting serotonin reuptake, they differ in their pharmacokinetic properties such as half-life, metabolic pathways, and drug interaction potential. Adverse effects of SSRIs include nausea, sexual dysfunction, headaches, and weight changes.
This document provides an overview of antidepressant drugs. It discusses the criteria for major depression and epidemiology. It then covers the pharmacology of different classes of antidepressants including SSRIs, SNRIs, serotonin receptor antagonists, bupropion, and MAOIs. For each class, it discusses mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, uses, adverse effects, and drug interactions.
SSRIs are a class of antidepressant drugs that work by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin in the brain. They are commonly used to treat depression but also anxiety, OCD, and other disorders. While SSRIs take weeks to have an effect due to their mechanism of action beyond just increasing serotonin levels, they have fewer side effects than older antidepressants. Common side effects include nausea, sexual dysfunction, insomnia, and headaches. Drug interactions can occur and serotonin syndrome is a potential risk. SSRIs are generally preferred over older antidepressants due to their safety profile.

Metyrosine has shown promise in treating psychosis associated with Velocardiofacial Syndrome (VCFS). A case report described a 15-year-old male with VCFS and treatment-resistant psychosis. He was unresponsive to multiple antipsychotics. Treatment with metyrosine led to a reduction in neuropsychiatric symptoms. Metyrosine inhibits the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase, reducing dopamine levels and psychotic symptoms. This case provides preliminary evidence that metyrosine may effectively treat psychosis in VCFS patients where other treatments have failed.

Clinical assessment of child and adolescent psychiatric emergenciesCarlo Carandang
This document provides guidance on clinically assessing child and adolescent psychiatric emergencies. It discusses goals of acute assessment including determining risk of harm, ruling out acute medical issues, and determining need for inpatient care. It also covers distinguishing between psychiatric diagnoses and mental health problems. Common acute mental health problems presented in the emergency department that are discussed include suicide, aggression, adjustment issues, borderline traits, abuse/homelessness, and acute psychiatric disorders like psychosis, mania, depression, and anxiety disorders. The document provides assessment approaches and case examples for managing these various psychiatric emergencies.
This presentation was given to students and staff of the University of the Philippines (Manila) College of Medicine, May 30, 2015. Computer anxiety is an intense fear of using computers. Computers are avoided at all cost, and exposure to computers induces a panic attack. This presentation goes into detail about what it is, how it evolves, and how to treat it.
In this presentation, we approach a two-class classification problem. We try to find a plane that separates the class in the feature space, also called a hyperplane. If we can't find a hyperplane, then we can be creative in two ways: 1) We soften what we mean by separate, and 2) We enrich and enlarge the featured space so that separation is possible.

Stress, anxiety, and depression in the workplace are common causes of disability that result in large economic costs. While mental distress is a normal experience, prolonged stress can lead to mental health problems like burnout or adjustment disorder, or develop into mental disorders like anxiety and depression if not properly addressed. Employers can implement preventative measures like psychoeducation workshops on stress management to prevent mental health issues from worsening. For employees experiencing mental health problems, a multidisciplinary approach including counseling and lifestyle assessments is recommended, while those with disorders may require additional therapies and medical treatment to support recovery and reduce disability.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
