Questions and CORRECT Answers
Which client factor(s) impact the effect of psychotropic age
medications and should be considered when prescribing smoking
psychotropic medications. caffiene
perscrined medication
over the counter medications
the chemical transmission of information between Neurotransmission
neurons and their target cells is called ______________
The neurotransmitters that most impact mental health can 1. cholinergics (acetylcholine)
be classified into four major categories: 2. monoamines (norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, and histamine)
3. amino acids (gamma- amino-butyric acid and glutamate), and 4.neuropeptides
Psychotropic medications often impact neurotransmitters True
by either enhancing or decreasing the neurotransmitters'
ability to bind to receptor sites
I am the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter (NT). The GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid.)
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.
When people don't have enough of GABA they may anxiety or even
experience schizophrenia.
, You can see my effects when people drink alcohol. A few GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid.)
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.
I am your flight, fight, or fright. That's me, in excess. . I can Norepinephrine (NE)
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.
What happens if you have too much NE due to stress, antsy, nervous, and affect your ability to focus.
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.
I affect arousal, motivation, attention, learning, and REM acetylcholine
sleep. I work within the parasympathetic nervous system
too. I can make you sweat and salivate. Increase me, and
I can help with symptoms
Substances that block me can paralyze you because I am acetylcholine
the link between the brain and muscles. When there's not
enough of me, I can be involved in Alzheimer's and
Parkinson's disease.
I also have a role in addiction. Dr. Stahl refers to me as acetylcholine
“the brain’s own nicotine” when he talks about my role in
addiction. I’ve got lots of receptor friends; my best
friends are nicotinic and muscarinic receptors.
some people call me 5HT. I help to regulate mood. I’ve Serotonin
been called the “happy hormone,” but actually I am not a
hormone at all; I am a monoamine neurotransmitter. Your
body synthesizes me naturally from tryptophan. You
know that amino acid in turkey that makes you content
and happy after a big turkey meal? That’s me, helping you
to feel relaxed, comfortable, and less stressed.
I help to regulate sleep, arousal, libido, aggression, and Serotonin
pain perception too! That's how I work in medications too.
