Drug therapy

1. 1Antipsychotic drugs treat psychotic mental disorders such as [blank_start]schizophrenia[blank_end]. Conventional antipsychotics are used primarily to combat the [blank_start]positive[blank_end] symptoms of schizophrenia. These drugs block the action of the neurotransmitter [blank_start]dopamine[blank_end] in the brain by binding to, but not [blank_start]stimulating[blank_end], dopamine receptors. [blank_start]Atypical[blank_end] antipsychotic drugs act by only temporarily occupying dopamine [blank_start]receptors[blank_end], and then rapidly dissociating to allow [blank_start]normal[blank_end] dopamine transmission. This may explain why such atypical antipsychotics have lower levels of [blank_start]side effects[blank_end] compared with conventional antipsychotics.

2. 2how does localisation of brain function apply to drug therapy?

   1. Apsychotherapeutic drugs can be used to alter the action of neurotransmitters and treat mental disorders
   2. Bdrugs target specific regions of the brain which are involved in psychological disorder.
   3. Cthe medical model is based on the view that mental illnesses are like physical illnesses; with a physical cause. therefore they can be treated in a physical way.
   4. Dthe limbic system regulates emotions, and disturbances in this part of the brain may affect mood.
3. 3What is the most commonly prescribed type of antidepressant?
   (not the abbreviation)

   

   1. Aselective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
4. 4[blank_start]Antidepressants[blank_end] work either by [blank_start]reducing[blank_end] the rate of reabsorption of serotonin or by blocking the [blank_start]enzyme[blank_end] that breaks down the neurotransmitters. Both of these mechanisms increase the amount of neurotransmitter available to excite neighbouring cells. [blank_start]SSRIs[blank_end] work by blocking the transporter mechanism that [blank_start]reabsorbs[blank_end] serotonin into the [blank_start]presynaptic[blank_end] cell after it has fired. As a result, more of the serotonin is left in the [blank_start]synapse[blank_end], prolonging activity and making transmission of the next impulse [blank_start]easier[blank_end].

    5. Edrug therapy is holistic
    6. Fdrug therapy is overall a positive treatment as it increases the patients quality of life
12. 12Identify why the use of placebos is seen as an ethical issue

    1. AThere is a risk of psychological harm as patients' mental wellbeing may deteriorate whilst being given placebos.
    2. BThere is a lack of privacy as patients mental conditions, which are very personal parts of their lives, are being studied as a part of research
    3. CThere is the fundamental research ethic that patients should not be given a treatment known to be inferior and that if effective treatments exist they should be used as the control condition when new treatments are tested.
13. 13Identify the main side effects that are linked to the use of tricyclic antidepressants

    1. Anausea
    2. Bhallucinations
    3. Cheadache
