Which client factor(s) impact the effect of psychotropic medications and
should be considered when prescribing psychotropic medications.
age
smoking
caffiene
perscrined medication
over the counter medications
the chemical transmission of information between neurons and their target
cells is called ______________
Neurotransmission
The neurotransmitters that most impact mental health can be classified into
four major categories:
1.cholinergics (acetylcholine)
2.monoamines (norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, and histamine)
3.amino acids (gamma- amino-butyric acid and glutamate), and
4.neuropeptides
Psychotropic medications often impact neurotransmitters by either enhancing
or decreasing the neurotransmitters' ability to bind to receptor sites
True
I am the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter (NT). The opposite of Glu. I
decrease neuroexcitability across the brain. I bring the “chill” to the party. I
say party because people really like me when I take the edge off stress and
help them calm down. Some meds use my benefits to help people sleep for
medical procedures. I help people relax, destress, and get some sleep.
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid.)
, When people don't have enough of GABA they may experience
anxiety or even
schizophrenia.
You can see my effects when people drink alcohol. A few drinks and people are
super social and up for just about anything. I’m told these are great benefits,
but some people abuse alcohol and medications that target me, such as
benzodiazepines. I don’t just calm down those emotions, I slow down
everything, even breathing, which can be dangerous. I also affect the executive
function and motor coordination, making people more at risk for accidents.
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid.)
I am your flight, fight, or fright. That's me, in excess. . I can really help with
focus and productivity which is why you see me with a cup of coffee. I can put
some "pep in your step" for sure when we get you to your sweet spot.
Norepinephrine (NE)
What happens if you have too much NE due to stress, medications, and
caffeine or other stimulants? I can make you -------------,------------, and affect
your ability to ------------. You see, I'm very primal and I can't tell if you're
stressed about a deadline or need to save yourself from a sabertooth tiger,
which to me is more important. That executive function? It's on hold until I'm
sure you're out of danger. These many roles apply to both physical and mental
health, including mood, cognition, cardiac functioning, sleep, and arousal.
Knowing about how I function will help you to better understand symptoms
and treatments.
antsy, nervous, and affect your ability to focus.
I affect arousal, motivation, attention, learning, and REM sleep. I work within
the parasympathetic nervous system too. I can make you sweat and
salivate. Increase me, and I can help with symptoms
