Ethical issues- covered in both the course Explore section and readings.
Epigenetics- covered in both the course Explore section and readings.
Why is epigenetics important? How does epigenetics impact a person’s
mental health?
Genetics- the CYP 450 impact is discussed in the course Explore section.
How does the CYP450 affect pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics?
What are some very common/concerning interactions? Also see Stahl Ch
2.
Incidence of mental illness-what factors are increasing the incidence?
This is covered in the course Explore section
Week CYP450-how this affects metabolism. Review Stahl Ch 2.
2 Inducers & Inhibitors- review Stahl p.49.
How does an inhibitor or inducer affect medication efficacy? Note the
most common inhibitors and inducers noted in your Stahl readings. You
will see these mentioned on boards. Make sure to review carbamazepine.
Is this medication an inhibitor or an inducer? How does combining
carbamazepine with another medication affect your prescribing? Are dose
adjustments necessary? What happens if you prescribe an inducer or an
inhibitor with a substrate?
Agonists/Antagonists (full, partial, reverse)- know definitions, and be
able to apply this to a clinical situation. Think about how this is applied
clinically. For example- if a medication is an agonist, how does that affect
transmission? Review Stahl’s agonist spectrum section. Review the figures
regarding agonists.
Neurotransmission- covered in both the course Explore section and
readings. What are the types of neurotransmission? Review retrograde,
and signal transduction cascades.
Why do some medications take weeks for the client to notice a response?
Which neurotransmission process causes this?
Week Dopamine pathways-know the four pathways, the functions, and adverse
3 effects. If given a scenario with an adverse effect, you should be able to
select the responsible pathway.
FGA/SGA- know the risks and benefits of each class including affected
neurotransmitters and adverse effects.
Which medication class is the first line?
Which medication is associated with a higher incidence of EPS or
