and case management as its basic mental health services. One important aspect of mental health with the most improvement over the past few decades is medications used to treat mental health symptoms. Abilify (aripiprazole) is one of the newest a-typical anti-psychotic medications that help block dopamine receptors shown to influence the symptomology of such things as hallucinations, delusions and thought distortion in schizophrenics, to name a few (Shirley & Perry, 2014).

Academic consensus regarding the etiology of most mental disorders is quite difficult to achieve due to polygenic effects underlying the majority of mental disorders, complex gene-environment interactions, and the constant emergence of both supportive and contradictory evidence. Such complexity is natural to the study of most disorders; however, there are still some such as Schizophrenia that pose even more difficulty compared to others. Schizophrenia is a psychiatric condition that is marked by…

elderly allows the drug to a greater volume of distribution throughout the body. An increased peak and steady state of plasma levels is also evidenced due to decreased metabolism.

Antipsychotics help with the paranoia, delusions and hallucinations. Antidepressants help with the feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, sleep trouble, and trouble with concentration.

We hypothesized that there are common gene pathways responsible for the schizophrenia–type 2 diabetes mellitus association in drug-naive subjects. In particular, wepropose that the insulin growth factor 2 m-RNA binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) genetic variants rs4402960 and rs1470579 .associates and replicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus Egyptians (14,15) gene pathways maycontribute to both type 2 diabetes mellitus and schizophrenia Through this exploration , we tried to link thepathogenetic…

Signs of schizophrenia are different for everyone; as there are many different types of schizophrenia. It is essential to get a…

minor N-dealkylation, the major pathway of biotransformation of RIS is hydroxylation at the 9_ position on the pyrido-pyrimidone ring to 9-hyroxyrisperidone (9-OH-RIS), mediated by the liver enzyme, CYP2D6 [7]. Risperidone is a second-generation antipsychotic agent widely used in the treatment of schizophrenia. It is converted to the active metabolite, 9-hyroxyrisperidone, in vivo. In fact, the “active…
