Neurotransmitter Dysregulation as Pathophysiology

  • Medications to treat psychiatric illness came first
  • Theories of pathophysiology were developed  based on mechanism of action
  • Dopamine hypothesis of Schizophrenia
  • “Monoamine Hypothesis of Depression”
  • Monoamine Receptor Hypothesis of Depression
