This video was so clear and informative, thank you! I'm on day 5 of lexapro ( escitalopram). I'm hoping I start to feel better in a few weeks. I've been depressed for a decade. I've had drowsiness, chills, nausea this week. And a severe panic attack on day 3 of this medication. I'm starting to feel better physically, but looking forward to feeling better mentally. I've been in low, foul mood for so long. 😞
If you haven't already, I would recommend getting bloodwork done to make sure you don't have any thyroid issues or vitamin deficiencies that could be making the depression worse. I would also recommend asking your psychiatrist about genetic testing (like genesight) that can help you weed out the medications that may have worse side effects for you and can also tell you if you have a mutation in the mthfr gene (in which case you may need to take methylated b12 and L methylfolate) Also, don't take your medications with a drink containing citric acid. Only water or milk. The citric acid could make the meds less effective.
Hang on in there because they normally take 2 to 6 weeks to feel better , you will feel your mood getting better, I've been on those for a while, I changed to mirtazipine, sertraline and now fluoxetine, anyway I hope you give them time to get into your system you will feel better
I'm on day 5 of Reconter (which is escitalopram as well). I'm surprised that you had so many effects with Lexapro, I've been told it is more expensive because it brings milder side effects. Anyway, it's been 6 months... How are you? Do you still take it? Are you feeling better? :)
This video is quite excellent in summarising such a complex field of mood disorders and the different treatments. I predict that atypical antidepressants will become the dominant “class” of medicine marketed. There are just so many different molecules that seem to have some positive effect on mood. What class people respond to is still a lottery; even if geneotyping becomes involved in predicting the probability of success to one drug over another.
thank you so much for posting! My teacher keeps saying i don't have to know how these medicines work but i do need to know the side effects. Because of this video i can finally relate the drug to the side effects.
The side effects and dependency are two crucial variables. Think I’m gonna change my diet, start exercising more, counseling and most importantly rediscover my faith. Thank you for the education in this video. Extremely helpful! 😊
A form of one-on-one counseling that suits you has been great for me, just slow, slowly understanding things better and being far more able to control or accept or handle sudden issues without freaking out and feeling hopeless. But YRMV with all that stuff, it has to suit you (just like medications I guess, but more personal).
My Psych Doc has been practicing Forensic Psychiatry/Addiction Medicine since 1978. He won’t prescribe Lithium anymore, he said 90% of patients end up with Kidney/Thyroid problems down the road. It’s inevitable. 😔
P J it has the best evidence for mood stabilisation in the long term. Renal effects are eventually unavoidable, but that’s why it is monitored. Like many things, it’s a balance - without it you may experience a greater number of relapses and brittle illness, and thus worse quality of life
@@ixiaorage To you and all those who support these toxic methods to treat humans--Please- TAKE THE DRUG YOURSELF FIRST, FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. Thank you.
Idk if this might help but I'm grandmother has a kidney problem u dont mind me saying this I know what she needs is lemon water and apple cider vinegar uhm yea my grandmother wont mind me saying this hope this helps... yea laterz
@@ixiaorage its junk science.safe alternatives are being supressed and the goverenment refuses to fund real reliable studies towards much more safer and effective treatments. its digusting theymanaged to convince millions of citizens to except the use of these drugs that have no cure and have deadly side effects and cause horrible conditions way worse the mental disorder. i refuse to accept that in 2020 there only remedy are drugs barely studied given to us by doctors that hardly have an idea about these drugs they push. pharma is a mass genocide on humanity.
Most studies show that the serotonin transporter is actually (already) reduced in patients with MDD (medication free). This would argue against the idea that SSRIs are really normalizing that system. As mentioned, other theories, may be more likely relevant.
There is another explanation for slower onset of action by these drugs. This explanation is quite logical. It says that these drugs tend to bind more avidly to the presynaptic receptors initally inhibiting neurotransmitter release. Only when these receptors get desensitized they start showing there effect. Kindly correct me if I'm wrong
Hey everybody taking antidepressants! If the medication isn’t working for you, 1. talk to your doctor (psychiatrist) 2. Remember you aren’t depending on the antidepressants 3. If you believe that it works, it will work. Believe in it. Believe in yourself. You’ll get better! I promise. As long as you think you can get better you will.

MAOIs now diet-safe. No decarboxylating enzymes in foods anymore to create tyramine, meaning no tyramine to lead to high blood pressure. Food and nutrition journals have been doing these analyses for 20 years now.
I have been on almost every antidepressant under the sun. SSRIs, SNRIs, and a couple of TCAs. None have worked so far besides my ADHD medication(Vyvanse) but that only lasted until my body adapted to the medication. My next class of drugs to try are MAOIs, and I'm excited to try them. I hope my psychiatrist will prescribe them but if not I'll find someone who will, because when you have lived with depression your whole life as I have, it's life or death to fix it and feel better. Also, I have tried the newer medication Auvelity and I'm on suboxone(for that's for past drug addiction it did help for depression at first but stopped).
I would second-guess textbook explanations regarding MAOIs. I have reviewed professional pharmacology textbooks on this point and none has shown any signs of having read any advances on this subject in the last 30 years. If they had, they would have discovered that not only do MAOIs increase serotonin levels to a greater degree than the newer SSRIs, but also that MAOIs are highly unlikely to cause dangerous Serotonin Syndrome by themselves unless taken with a Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor, or to a lesser degree a serotonin releaser like MDMA. There's also nowadays very little danger of dangerous hypertension with MAOIs, as foods have practically no tyramine anymore.
You can look up a seasoned mycologist/therapist who can help with everything you need! Got great strains and products! my order arrived less than a week and I'm free from Depression and Anxiety!
I have tried anti depressants in the past and disagree that they work with everyone as the longer I took them the worse I became ! All I was being told by doctors is after so many weeks they will definitely start to work but eventually after months of taking antidepressants I stopped and eventually got better naturally
I do believe for now that taking anti depressants doesn't cure you instead it make the problem even worse. Did you know some mother's who take these drugs prescribe by their doctor and commit a crime such as Killing their own kids. It's just another piece of evidence that these antidepressants drugs doesn't really work.
People just react differently to the same meds. I took escitalopram for about 3 months without effect. While a friend got better almost immediately from it.
Very well explained! Thank you! I study computer science which I like it don't have an actual passion for. I've always found the brain intriguing and recently I've been watching videos like these instead of studying for my actual degree. Thinking about switching to psychology or neuroscience or something.
@@sanjaisrao484 I can't easily switch bc I go to university in Germany and switching to psychology is impossible unless you got a near perfect GPA on your "Abitur" (German high school diploma). And because my GPA is pretty good but not good enough I'd have to go to uni in the Netherlands which I unfortunately can't afford, therefore I've decided to finish my bachelor's and then see if I can move to the Netherlands and study psychology while partly working as a developer or something.
Hi excellent video i just didn't get the g protien part 5:49 Does ssri cause delay in relief due to getting accumulated in lipid rafts or Due to slow release of g protien its delayed Im confused please help me out with this
From what I gather, depression is associated with decreased cAMP in the brain. Activating G-protein Coupled Receptors is cAMP dependent. G proteins can stimulate synthesis of cAMP. So, by displacing G proteins from lipid rafts, antidepressants enhance GPCR activity. How that helps depression is beyond my pay grade. References: PMID 27432886 (J Biol Chem 2016), plus Wikipedia on G proteins, GPCRs, cAMP, etc..
The key point in the video is that while the serotonin/norepinephrine effects of these drugs should begin within hours, the symptom relief takes weeks, so we need some other casual factor to explain that delay. If the kinetics of the g proteins match that timescale, they're a good candidate. Again, I don't know first hand how well the kinetics really match, and I don't know what alternative explanations there might be.
Here's on for you. If 5-ht2a agonism is bad for depression, then why do psychedelic drugs (like psilocybin) appear to demonstrate positive effects in treatment resistant depression?
they keep these treatments illegal and demonize them knowing they have no history of any bad effects and can actually improve lives. but keep these mild altering dangerous drugs on the market and easily available. obviously teh governement is corrupted with greed at the expense of our safety and well being
Although psychedelic drugs are actually all partial (not full) agonists at that receptor AFAIK. Since partial agonists can also block and serve more to hold the level of receptor activation at a steady point, their effects may not be due to agonism but rather antagonism or stabilisation. Just an idea IDK.
Or the positive effects against depression are due to the very intense and personal nature of the experience - like months of counseling in one day - and not at all due to the pharmacological effects but rather psychological - the things the user experiences and learns during the experience.
@@DaFinkingOrk I've read recent articles too that you can tease apart the psychedellic and antidepressant effects of psilocybin. The antidepressant effect may have nothing to do with 5-ht2a agonism. Perhaps it activates Trk-b or TAAR or something.
I can recommend you to where I get my stuff he's got Shrooms, psychedelics, Microdose, Dmt, Vape Pens, Carts, and other products well refined too, ships to anywhere also guides you if you're a newbie

I had horrendously bad depression. It was completely cured with antibiotics meant for a sinus infection. I knew that my gut was involved, and had to avoid certain foods which gave me depression. SSRIs didn't help in my case. With the antibiotics, it was completely over with.
MAO actually reduce BP mildly- I think this is the same reason why this is so - this also explains the bisphasic response of adrenaline. We have less of B2 receptors and more of Alpha 1 receptors - But the B2 receptors having a stronger affinity for Adrenaline and noradrenaline - so when there is a mild increase in adrenaline/noradrenaline the effect of B2 is dominant leading to vasodilation and reduction in BP At higher doses(say when we take tyramine) when we have enough adrenaline/noradrenaline to bind to both Alpha1 and Beta 2 the effect of alpha1 is dominant simply because we have more of alpha1 receptors in the blood vessel. I remember having read this on wikipedia though I cannot find it now so maybe I am extrapolating a bit. Hope someone finds this useful, someday.
It is a shame that selective reversible MAOIs like moclobemide (auroix) aren’t mentioned as an alternative to irreversible non selective MAOIs. Moclobemide is considered “weak”, but at the higher doses I got quite a boost from it, with very little side effects.
The video states that activating “the bad” serotonin receptor, 5-HT2A, actually induces depression, yet research on Psilocibin (magic mushrooms) microdosing suggests the contrary. Any neuroscience/psychopharmacology grad students got any input on this? 🤔
I'm not a neuroscientist but this confuses me too. 5hta2 agonists like shrooms somehow bring about cascading events leading to neurogenesis. But then 5hta2 antagonists such as seroquel are sometimes used as an augment treatment for major depression disorder. I think ultimately, we can't isolate receptors since I think there is cross talk between them. 5hta2 antagonists for example often being anti psychotics shutting down trips but psychosis being more associated with dopamine elevation.
What I've learned from Elon Musk's biography is that very often, Science can't progress further because of the lack of technological advancement (the tools to make science) in that area. If we had better technological tools to understand the brain better AND to make better interventions I think we could get further with mental disorders.

If you haven't already, I would recommend getting bloodwork done to make sure you don't have any thyroid issues or vitamin deficiencies that could be making the depression worse. I would also recommend asking your psychiatrist about genetic testing (like genesight) that can help you weed out the medications that may have worse side effects for you and can also tell you if you have a mutation in the mthfr gene (in which case you may need to take methylated b12 and L methylfolate)
Also, don't take your medications with a drink containing citric acid. Only water or milk. The citric acid could make the meds less effective.
Hang on in there because they normally take 2 to 6 weeks to feel better , you will feel your mood getting better, I've been on those for a while, I changed to mirtazipine, sertraline and now fluoxetine, anyway I hope you give them time to get into your system you will feel better
I'm on day 5 of Reconter (which is escitalopram as well). I'm surprised that you had so many effects with Lexapro, I've been told it is more expensive because it brings milder side effects. Anyway, it's been 6 months... How are you? Do you still take it? Are you feeling better? :)
This video is quite excellent in summarising such a complex field of mood disorders and the different treatments.
I predict that atypical antidepressants will become the dominant “class” of medicine marketed. There are just so many different molecules that seem to have some positive effect on mood. What class people respond to is still a lottery; even if geneotyping becomes involved in predicting the probability of success to one drug over another.
I believe you have one of the best channels on UA-cam. Thank you for all your hard work. Amazing job.
Thanks for explaining these beyond how they function, and explaining the pros and cons with the visual example.
thank you so much for posting! My teacher keeps saying i don't have to know how these medicines work but i do need to know the side effects. Because of this video i can finally relate the drug to the side effects.
Everything was clear then lithium popped up
and the real criminal behind all this was GSK-3 which thx to Lithium its inhibited
Exactly!
😂
true
HAHAHHAA I FEEL YOU
The side effects and dependency are two crucial variables. Think I’m gonna change my diet, start exercising more, counseling and most importantly rediscover my faith.
Thank you for the education in this video. Extremely helpful! 😊
Hey I'll b in the same boat soon if u dont mind thanks for giving me a heads up in a way...
That is awesome, I'm gonna do the same.
A form of one-on-one counseling that suits you has been great for me, just slow, slowly understanding things better and being far more able to control or accept or handle sudden issues without freaking out and feeling hopeless.
But YRMV with all that stuff, it has to suit you (just like medications I guess, but more personal).
May Satan bless you.
@@dinobussanich3017 there's substitute you know
I have been struggling to have it right in my head all the time, this video makes it so clear.... Thanks a lot
Your video may be the best for a student totured by pharmacology!!!!
My Psych Doc has been practicing Forensic Psychiatry/Addiction Medicine since 1978. He won’t prescribe Lithium anymore, he said 90% of patients end up with Kidney/Thyroid problems down the road. It’s inevitable. 😔
P J it has the best evidence for mood stabilisation in the long term. Renal effects are eventually unavoidable, but that’s why it is monitored. Like many things, it’s a balance - without it you may experience a greater number of relapses and brittle illness, and thus worse quality of life
@@Robespierre-lI There is hope
@@ixiaorage To you and all those who support these toxic methods to treat humans--Please- TAKE THE DRUG YOURSELF FIRST, FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. Thank you.
Idk if this might help but I'm grandmother has a kidney problem u dont mind me saying this I know what she needs is lemon water and apple cider vinegar uhm yea my grandmother wont mind me saying this hope this helps... yea laterz
@@ixiaorage its junk science.safe alternatives are being supressed and the goverenment refuses to fund real reliable studies towards much more safer and effective treatments. its digusting theymanaged to convince millions of citizens to except the use of these drugs that have no cure and have deadly side effects and cause horrible conditions way worse the mental disorder. i refuse to accept that in 2020 there only remedy are drugs barely studied given to us by doctors that hardly have an idea about these drugs they push. pharma is a mass genocide on humanity.
I doubled my dose, now I am not depressed. What an amazing drug, A-typical.
Most studies show that the serotonin transporter is actually (already) reduced in patients with MDD (medication free). This would argue against the idea that SSRIs are really normalizing that system. As mentioned, other theories, may be more likely relevant.
There is another explanation for slower onset of action by these drugs. This explanation is quite logical. It says that these drugs tend to bind more avidly to the presynaptic receptors initally inhibiting neurotransmitter release. Only when these receptors get desensitized they start showing there effect. Kindly correct me if I'm wrong

Hey everybody taking antidepressants! If the medication isn’t working for you,
1. talk to your doctor (psychiatrist)
2. Remember you aren’t depending on the antidepressants
3. If you believe that it works, it will work.
Believe in it. Believe in yourself. You’ll get better! I promise. As long as you think you can get better you will.
I’m here to talk to so if any of you are going through anything, reply to this comment. You’re anonymous and I am too. You’re safe. There’s always someone there.
Just the fact you names FBI gives me hope
Im going thru it. :/
i got diagnosed with nearly severe depression and severe anxiety yesterday, and i feel so much worse knowing i have depression and anxiety now. i feel uncomfortable everywhere i go, and im never proud of myself for leaving the house :(
skye eee exactly the same here I have every reason to be happy but I just feel empty I can never talk I don’t like being around people and I usually just stay in my room all the time
AlexGamer XnY omg- and u feel like you literally dont know what to do? it feels like ur kinda drowning. you lose focus on everything, you honestly font care anymore and cant even look after yourself, youve fully given up. i hope you recover ❤️
This is very useful for me. I needed some help to understand and navigate the seemingly scary world of antidepressants, so thank you.
You got depression because you have nothing to do in life but to show your body for money.
MAOIs now diet-safe. No decarboxylating enzymes in foods anymore to create tyramine, meaning no tyramine to lead to high blood pressure. Food and nutrition journals have been doing these analyses for 20 years now.
A great way of making it comprehensive... Really thankful.
Thanks for such an informative video! I was curious about SSRIs, and now I think I partly understood how they works for me :)
This video sounds like it's being narrated by Noho Hank from Barry and to be honest I needed that.
I have been on almost every antidepressant under the sun. SSRIs, SNRIs, and a couple of TCAs. None have worked so far besides my ADHD medication(Vyvanse) but that only lasted until my body adapted to the medication. My next class of drugs to try are MAOIs, and I'm excited to try them. I hope my psychiatrist will prescribe them but if not I'll find someone who will, because when you have lived with depression your whole life as I have, it's life or death to fix it and feel better. Also, I have tried the newer medication Auvelity and I'm on suboxone(for that's for past drug addiction it did help for depression at first but stopped).
Great video, super helpful for my psych studies!
I would second-guess textbook explanations regarding MAOIs. I have reviewed professional pharmacology textbooks on this point and none has shown any signs of having read any advances on this subject in the last 30 years. If they had, they would have discovered that not only do MAOIs increase serotonin levels to a greater degree than the newer SSRIs, but also that MAOIs are highly unlikely to cause dangerous Serotonin Syndrome by themselves unless taken with a Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor, or to a lesser degree a serotonin releaser like MDMA. There's also nowadays very little danger of dangerous hypertension with MAOIs, as foods have practically no tyramine anymore.
gaf?
This video is so helpful! Thank you!

loved this video- currently in mental health rotation and this will help me to remember my meds for exams :*)
I like your accent. It is easy to understand without using english subtitles(english is not my first language).
Thank you so much teacher!
I have tried anti depressants in the past and disagree that they work with everyone as the longer I took them the worse I became ! All I was being told by doctors is after so many weeks they will definitely start to work but eventually after months of taking antidepressants I stopped and eventually got better naturally
I do believe for now that taking anti depressants doesn't cure you instead it make the problem even worse. Did you know some mother's who take these drugs prescribe by their doctor and commit a crime such as Killing their own kids. It's just another piece of evidence that these antidepressants drugs doesn't really work.
@@joyunday1167 I did not now that but like you say they don't work for everyone and can actually make you worse
People just react differently to the same meds. I took escitalopram for about 3 months without effect. While a friend got better almost immediately from it.
@@joyunday1167 anecdotal evidence much?
Thank you so much
Have my pharmacology exam tomorrow
Helped me so much

Thank you for the amazing video!!
This channel is the best, it saved my classes!
This video makes everything so much easier. But damn the uses and names are still so hard!
Very well explained! Thank you!
I study computer science which I like it don't have an actual passion for. I've always found the brain intriguing and recently I've been watching videos like these instead of studying for my actual degree. Thinking about switching to psychology or neuroscience or something.
Did u really switch?
@@sanjaisrao484 I can't easily switch bc I go to university in Germany and switching to psychology is impossible unless you got a near perfect GPA on your "Abitur" (German high school diploma). And because my GPA is pretty good but not good enough I'd have to go to uni in the Netherlands which I unfortunately can't afford, therefore I've decided to finish my bachelor's and then see if I can move to the Netherlands and study psychology while partly working as a developer or something.
@@FleurDeCersier Oh okay...Anyway Good Luck for ur furture :)

Very helpful!! Clear and informative! Thanks!!!
Hi excellent video i just didn't get the g protien part 5:49
Does ssri cause delay in relief due to getting accumulated in lipid rafts or
Due to slow release of g protien its delayed
Im confused please help me out with this
From what I gather, depression is associated with decreased cAMP in the brain. Activating G-protein Coupled Receptors is cAMP dependent. G proteins can stimulate synthesis of cAMP.
So, by displacing G proteins from lipid rafts, antidepressants enhance GPCR activity.
How that helps depression is beyond my pay grade.
References: PMID 27432886 (J Biol Chem 2016), plus Wikipedia on G proteins, GPCRs, cAMP, etc..
@@GeorgeLocke hiii thankyouuuu got some clarity ✔️
The key point in the video is that while the serotonin/norepinephrine effects of these drugs should begin within hours, the symptom relief takes weeks, so we need some other casual factor to explain that delay. If the kinetics of the g proteins match that timescale, they're a good candidate.
Again, I don't know first hand how well the kinetics really match, and I don't know what alternative explanations there might be.
Here's on for you. If 5-ht2a agonism is bad for depression, then why do psychedelic drugs (like psilocybin) appear to demonstrate positive effects in treatment resistant depression?
they keep these treatments illegal and demonize them knowing they have no history of any bad effects and can actually improve lives. but keep these mild altering dangerous drugs on the market and easily available. obviously teh governement is corrupted with greed at the expense of our safety and well being
Although psychedelic drugs are actually all partial (not full) agonists at that receptor AFAIK. Since partial agonists can also block and serve more to hold the level of receptor activation at a steady point, their effects may not be due to agonism but rather antagonism or stabilisation. Just an idea IDK.
Or the positive effects against depression are due to the very intense and personal nature of the experience - like months of counseling in one day - and not at all due to the pharmacological effects but rather psychological - the things the user experiences and learns during the experience.
@@DaFinkingOrk I've read recent articles too that you can tease apart the psychedellic and antidepressant effects of psilocybin. The antidepressant effect may have nothing to do with 5-ht2a agonism. Perhaps it activates Trk-b or TAAR or something.
I can recommend you to where I get my stuff he's got Shrooms, psychedelics, Microdose, Dmt, Vape Pens, Carts, and other products well refined too, ships to anywhere also guides you if you're a newbie
Surprised you don't mention brain zaps as one of the withdrawal symptoms.

I love speed pharmacology 😢
You forgot the most important MAOi inhibitor: Moclobemide, which is reversible, and doesn´t has the problems of old MAOi inhibitors.
Moclobemide also doesn't increase serotonin NEARLY to the degree of the irreversible MAOIs like Tranylcypromine.
Moclobemide is not the "most important MAO inhibitor", it is simply the weakest and most recent. Have a look at a journal article for once in your life.
Parnate I'm on it right now. Is it really the weakest? I opted for it because it had the fewest sexual side effects
The best channel for pharm....😍🙏
I love your videos! They are so helpful and I feel more prepared for my exams.

@Star Shaikh This sounds like OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) . Please go to an actual Psychiatrist , instead of taking advice here . Its a very common psychological problem and there is proper treatment required . I have a person in family with OCD too . Hope you recover IA .
P.S and please remember despite all the stigma , this can happen to anyone and is nothing to be ashamed of .

@@illuzion30 ahhh I feel you. I was on lithium until a couple months ago (on top of ssris that I'm still on) and I still haven't wrap my head around how it works. It's so damned complicated!!!! At least I know it works, idk how but it does.
This guy’s channel explains the whole of pharmacology???
I don’t think I’d ever need to go to class again😂
Please make a video on antipsychotic drugs too

anti anxiety drugs mnemonics
This channel alrdy has such vids.
I had horrendously bad depression. It was completely cured with antibiotics meant for a sinus infection. I knew that my gut was involved, and had to avoid certain foods which gave me depression. SSRIs didn't help in my case. With the antibiotics, it was completely over with.
MAO actually reduce BP mildly- I think this is the same reason why this is so - this also explains the bisphasic response of adrenaline.
We have less of B2 receptors and more of Alpha 1 receptors - But the B2 receptors having a stronger affinity for Adrenaline and noradrenaline - so when there is a mild increase in adrenaline/noradrenaline the effect of B2 is dominant leading to vasodilation and reduction in BP
At higher doses(say when we take tyramine) when we have enough adrenaline/noradrenaline to bind to both Alpha1 and Beta 2 the effect of alpha1 is dominant simply because we have more of alpha1 receptors in the blood vessel.
I remember having read this on wikipedia though I cannot find it now so maybe I am extrapolating a bit.
Hope someone finds this useful, someday.
Syed Moris 😊 and I found this useful
Thanks my bro
Amazing education clear and easy to understand. Good job
It is a shame that selective reversible MAOIs like moclobemide (auroix) aren’t mentioned as an alternative to irreversible non selective MAOIs. Moclobemide is considered “weak”, but at the higher doses I got quite a boost from it, with very little side effects.
Very good video exactly what i was looking for!!! Thanks and well done!!
Well done! THANKS for this creation.

"Hi Everybody! It's Doctor Nick!"
Hahah that's what i thought
This was incredibly helpful! Thanks for the visuals! I’m a visual learner!
The video states that activating “the bad” serotonin receptor, 5-HT2A, actually induces depression, yet research on Psilocibin (magic mushrooms) microdosing suggests the contrary. Any neuroscience/psychopharmacology grad students got any input on this? 🤔
I'm not a neuroscientist but this confuses me too. 5hta2 agonists like shrooms somehow bring about cascading events leading to neurogenesis. But then 5hta2 antagonists such as seroquel are sometimes used as an augment treatment for major depression disorder. I think ultimately, we can't isolate receptors since I think there is cross talk between them. 5hta2 antagonists for example often being anti psychotics shutting down trips but psychosis being more associated with dopamine elevation.
U had made the concept very easy.
Gud❤🎉
What I've learned from Elon Musk's biography is that very often, Science can't progress further because of the lack of technological advancement (the tools to make science) in that area. If we had better technological tools to understand the brain better AND to make better interventions I think we could get further with mental disorders.
this is useful for my mental nursing studies thx
