Causative Factors of Mood disorders; Theories:
which theory focuses on theory is based on the effect of antidepressant meds (which change the level of neurotransmitters in the brain). Serotonin regulates mood and the sleep-wake cycle. However, although the medications improve mood, there are still unknowns about exactly what is working. For example, why do they take several weeks to show an effect? Why do some work for some people and not everyone? The connection between neurotransmitters and depression is not a direct one so other factors probably are also important in a theory of causation. Treatment includes a variety of SSRI’s and other medications. |
