PSYCHOTROPICS

PSYCHOTROPIC MEDICATIONS

  • A psychotropic drug is a chemical substance that changes nervous system function and results in alterations in perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, or behavior. 
  • Substances may be used medically to improve performance or alter one's consciousness.  
  • Some psychoactive substances may be used in the detoxification and rehabilitation programs for persons dependent on or addicted to other psychotropic drugs. 
  • Psychoactive substances often bring about subjective changes in consciousness and mood that the user may find rewarding and pleasant  advantageous in an objectively observable or measurable way .
  • In addition, sustained use of some substances may produce physical or psychological dependence or both, associated with somatic or psychological-emotional withdrawal states respectively. 
  • Drug rehabilitation attempts to reduce addiction, through a combination of psychotherapy, support groups, and other psychoactive substances.
  • Certain psychoactive drugs may be so unpleasant that the person will never use the substance again. This is especially true of certain deliriants (e.g. Jimson weed), powerful dissociative , and classic psychedelics (e.g. LSD, psilocybin), in the form of a "bad trip". 
  • SSRIs have demonstrated efficacy in depression, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), premenstrual dysphoric disorder, migraine (prophylaxis), and other conditions
  • Antipsychotics such as aripiprazole are effective in schizophrenia, in mania,
  • Quetiapine and lurasidone are specifically effective as monotherapy for bipolar depression, and quetiapine is effective as monotherapy for generalized anxiety disorder

  • The pharmacological domains are based on neurotransmitter or molecular action. There are 11 domains: Acetylcholine, dopamine, GABA, glutamate, histamine, ion channel, lithium-mimetic, melatonin, norepinephrine, opioid, and serotonin.
  • Hydroxyzine is listed as a histamine receptor antagonist.
