1) What is the primary action of psychiatric drugs They either mimic, block, or
on neurotransmitters? modify the actions of
neurotransmitters by binding to
their receptors.
2) Where are receptors for neurotransmitters On the plasma membrane or
located? intracellularly.
3) What types of receptors are most relevant to Transmembrane molecules,
drugs? which can be ionotropic (ion
channels) or metabotropic (G
protein-coupled).
4) What is the significance of pharmacokinetics It describes and predicts the
in psychopharmacology? time course of drug

distressing withdrawal symptoms?
10) What is autoinhibition in drug metabolism? A dose-dependent inhibition of
a drug's own metabolism,
leading to increased plasma
concentrations.
