Substance/medication-Induced |Depressive |Disorder |Diagnostic |criteria: |- |correct

|answer |✔Prominent |& |persistent |disturbance |mood

History, |physical |examination, |or |laboratory |findings

Substance |intoxication |or |withdrawal

Disturbance |does |not |occur |exclusively |during |the |course |of |delirium

Disturbance |causes |clinically |significant |distress |or |impairment |in |social, |occupational |or |other |important |areas |of |functioning

Substance/medication-Induced |Depressive |Disorder |Common |Differentials |-

|correct |answer |✔Substance |intoxication |and |withdrawal

Primary |depressive |disorder

Until |recently, |the |monoamine |neurotransmitters |norepinephrine, |dopamine,

|serotonin, |and |histamine |- |correct |answer |✔were |the |main |focus |of |theories |and |research |about |the |etiology |of |these |disorders.

A |progressive |shift |has |occurred |from |focusing |on |disturbances |of |single

|neurotransmitter |systems |in |favor |of |- |correct |answer |✔studying |neurobehavioral |systems, |neural |circuits, |and |more |intricate |neuroregulatory |mechanisms.

The |monoaminergic |systems |- |correct |answer |✔are |now |viewed |as |broader, |neuromodulatory |systems, |and |disturbances |are |as |likely |to |be |secondary |or |epiphenomenal |effects |as |they |are |directly |or |causally |related |to |etiology |and |pathogenesis

Of |the |biogenic |amines |- |correct |answer |✔norepinephrine |and |serotonin |are |the |two |neurotransmitters |most |implicated |in |the |pathophysiology |of |mood |disorders.

NOREPINEPHRINE |The |clinical |effectiveness |of |antidepressant |drugs |with |noradrenergic |effects for |example, |venlafaxine |(Effexor) |- |correct |answer

|✔further |supports |a |role |for |norepinephrine |in |the |pathophysiology |of |at |least |some |of |the |symptoms |of |depression

SEROTONIN |With |the |huge |effect |that |the |selective |serotonin |reuptake

|inhibitors |(SSRIs) |for |example, |fluoxetine |(Prozac) |- |correct |answer |✔have |made |on |the |treatment |of |depression, |serotonin |has |become |the |biogenic |amine |neurotransmitter |most |commonly |associated |with |depression.

The |identification |of |multiple |serotonin |receptor |subtypes |has |also |- |correct

|answer |✔increased |the |excitement |within |the |research |community |about |the |development |of |even |more |specific |treatments |for |depression.

SSRIs |and |other |serotonergic |antidepressants |are |effective |in |the |treatment |of |-

|correct |answer |✔depression, |other |data |indicate |that |serotonin |is |involved |in |the |pathophysiology |of |depression

Depletion |of |serotonin |may |- |correct |answer |✔precipitate |depression, |and |some |patients |with |suicidal |impulses |have |low |cerebrospinal |fluid |(CSF) |concentrations |of |serotonin |metabolites |and |low |concentrations |of |serotonin |uptake |sites |on |platelets.

Although |norepinephrine |and |serotonin |are |the |biogenic |amines |most |often |associated |with |the |pathophysiology |of |depression, |- |correct |answer

|✔dopamine |has |also |been |theorized |to |play |a |role. |The |data |suggest |that |dopamine |activity |may |be |reduced |in |depression |and |increased |in |mania

Drugs |that |reduce |dopamine |concentrations for |example, |reserpine

|(Serpasil) |- |correct |answer |✔and |diseases |that |reduce |dopamine |concentrations |(e.g., |Parkinson's |disease) |are |associated |with |depressive |symptoms

Drugs |that |increase |dopamine |concentrations |- |correct |answer |✔such |as |tyrosine, |amphetamine, |and |bupropion |(Wellbutrin), |reduce |the |symptoms |of |depression

|blankets, |chlorpromazine |(Thorazine), |dantrolene |(Dantrium), |benzodiazepines, |anticonvulsants, |mechanical |ventilation, |and |paralyzing |agents.

The |use |of |specific |pharmacotherapy |- |correct |answer |✔approximately |doubles |the |chances |that |a |depressed |patient |will |recover |in | 1 |month.

All |currently |available |antidepressants |may |take |up |to |- |correct |answer |✔to | 3 |to | 4 |weeks |to |exert |significant |therapeutic |effects, |although |they |may |begin |to |show |their |effects |earlier.

Choice |of |antidepressants |is |determined |by |the |side |effect |profile |least

|objectionable |to |a |given |patient's |- |correct |answer |✔physical |status, |temperament, |and |lifestyle.

Numerous |classes |of |antidepressants |are |available, |many |with |different

|mechanisms |- |correct |answer |✔of |action, |represents |indirect |evidence |for |heterogeneity |of |putative |biochemical |lesions

Although |the |first |antidepressant |drugs, |the |monoamine |oxidase |inhibitors |(MAOIs) |and |tricyclic |antidepressants |(TCAs), |are |still |in |use |- |correct |answer

|✔newer |compounds |have |made |the |treatment |of |depression |more |"clinician |and |patient |friendly."

Psychosocial |Therapy |Three |types |of |short-term |psychotherapies |- |correct

|answer |✔cognitive |therapy, |interpersonal |therapy, |and |behavior |therapy have |been |studied |to |determine |their |efficacy |in |the |treatment |of |major |depressive |disorder

Although |its |efficacy |in |treating |major |depressive |disorder |is |not |as |well |researched |as |these |three |therapies, |psychoanalytically |oriented

|psychotherapy |- |correct |answer |✔has |long |been |used |for |depressive |disorders, |and |many |clinicians |use |the |technique |as |their |primary |method.

What |differentiates |the |three |short-term |psychotherapy |methods |from |the

|psychoanalytically |oriented |approach |are |the |- |correct |answer |✔active |and |directive |roles |of |the |therapist, |the |directly |recognizable |goals, |and |the |end |points |for |short-term |therapy.

·Obsessive |and |compulsive/Anxiety/trauma |and |stress |related |disorders

Diagnostic |criteria |- |correct |answer |✔Obsessions |(thoughts) |or |Compulsions |(behaviors) |or |both
