📖 1. CNS Drugs Overview

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • CNS Drugs: Pharmacological agents that target the brain and spinal cord to modify mood, perception, or behavior, used in treating mental health disorders.
  • Neurotransmitters: Chemical messengers such as serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, and GABA that transmit signals across synapses; their modulation is central to CNS drug action.
  • Mechanism of Action: The specific biochemical interaction through which a drug produces its effect, such as receptor binding or enzyme inhibition.
  • Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs): A class of antidepressants that block serotonin reuptake, increasing its availability in the synaptic cleft.
  • Extrapyramidal Symptoms (EPS): Movement disorders, including tremors and rigidity, caused by dopamine blockade, common with first-generation antipsychotics.
  • Serotonin Syndrome: A potentially life-threatening condition caused by excessive serotonergic activity, characterized by mental status changes, autonomic hyperactivity, and neuromuscular abnormalities.
