Psychopharmacology

Quick Fact: Psychopharmacology involves medications to manage mental health disorders, balancing efficacy and safety.

Complete Coverage:

• Drug Classes: Antipsychotics (e.g., haloperidol, risperidone), antidepressants (e.g., sertraline, fluoxetine), mood stabilizers (e.g., lithium, valproate).
• Mechanisms: Antipsychotics block dopamine (D2) receptors; SSRIs increase serotonin levels.
• Side Effects: Antipsychotics (extrapyramidal symptoms, tardive dyskinesia); antidepressants (weight gain, sexual dysfunction).

• Administration Routes: Oral (tablets), IM (long-acting antipsychotics), IV (benzodiazepines in emergencies).
• Complications: Serotonin syndrome (SSRIs), neuroleptic malignant syndrome (antipsychotics).
• Monitoring: Regular blood tests (lithium, clozapine), observe for toxicity (e.g., lithium tremor).
