|
|
Schizophrenia: Negative Symptoms

Typical Antipsychotics: Benefits and Side Effects
|

|
|
Atypical Antipsychotics: Benefits and Side Effects
|
Less extrapyramidals. Less anticholinergic ADRs. Minimal effects on prolactin E.g. Seroquel
|
|
Neurotransmitter targeted by antipsychotics
|
Dopamine
|
|
Pathways: Substantia Nigra
|
Creates Dopamine
|
|
Pathways: Mesolimbic
|
Too much dopamine here leads to positive symptoms. Emotional control center in brain. Meds try to block this pathway
|
|
Pathways: Mesocortical
|
Too little here leads to negative symptoms (cognitive, negative, affective).
|
|
Pathways: Nigrostriatal
|
Deficits leads to tardive dyskenesia and movement disorders. Movement.
|
|
Pathways: Tuberoinfundibular
|
Deficits increase prolactine and lead to 1) galactorrhea, 2) ammenorhea, 3) low libido. Thalamic dopamine system
|
|
Dopamine: Production
|
Tyrosine transformed to DOPA and packed in vesicles. Docks on the edge of axon and squirts out to other neuron
|
|
Dopamine: Termination
|
MAO breaks down into inactive elements OR transported back into cell to be broken down or recycled
|
|
Dopamine: Receiving Neuron
|
1) one or more dopamine receptors 2) D2 receptors blocked by meds (only) 3) autoreceptors tell DNA how much dopamine
|
|
PORT: Are second gens better than 1st for positive symptomology?
|
No
|
|
PORT: Use antipsychotic for 1st episodes?

|
increased (in first or early episodes pts. 96% relapse)
|
|
PORT: What med for tx resistant pts.
|
Clozapine (used to decrease persistent violent behaviors and hostility, decreases suicidal rate 3-fold)
|
|
Study that showed 1st and 2nd gens did not differ in effectiveness or extrapyramidal effects or that 2nd gens were no better for negative symptoms?
|
CATIE
|
|
Study showing 1st generations being a little better than 2nd, no difference in extrapyramidal side effects
