Abstract:
Objectives:Research indicates that anti-depressant prescribing is higher in Northern Ireland (NI) than in the rest of the UK, and that socio-economic and area-level factors may contribute to this. The current study provides comprehensive population-based estimates of the prevalence of anti-depressant prescription prescribing in NI from 2011 to 2015, and examined the associations between socio-demographic, socio-economic, self-reported health and area-level factors and anti-depressant prescription.Methods:Data were derived from the 2011 NI Census (N = 1 588 355) and the Enhanced Prescribing Dat

Passion fruit, Passiflora edulis, is a plant with numerous medicinal properties, including antidiabetic, anxiolytic, antineoplastic, antioxidant, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is native to Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina and is widely grown in South America, the Caribbean, South Florida, South Africa, and Asia. Passion fruit comes in two forms, standard yellow and standard yellow, with an annual production of about 120 tons. In Bhutan, it is grown in purple and yellow varieties, with the purple variety being the most commonly grown. Passion fruit grows on various soil types a

Abstract:
The benzodiazepines have replaced widespread use of barbiturates and other sedatives. They are effective, safe medicines used to treat a variety of disorders associated with excessive CNS excitability. Although many physicians avoid prescribing benzodiazepines to adolescents, there is little evidence to support this practice. Unless an adolescent has a history of substance abuse/dependence and suicidal ideation, the benzodiazepines are safe. Benzodiazepine toxicity rarely occurs unless another CNS depressant, especially alcohol, is used concurrently.

Abstract:
One of the common mental illnesses that affect people worldwide is depression. It can impact people from all backgrounds and age groups. Despite having medications for depression, very few people respond to it in an efficient manner. Currently used anti-depressants show side effects like urine retention, nausea, weight gain, cardiovascular disorders, etc. Natural compounds are being evaluated for their therapeutic potential to eradicate these side effects. Metabolites obtained from marine organisms possess diverse beneficial effects. Various sponges, corals, and seaweeds contain compounds with

Depression is one of the most affected disorders all over the world. Studies have found that around 43% of Indians suffer from depression, out of which 11% suffer from moderate depression and 9% suffer from severe depression symptoms. Most youth of India show symptoms of depression because of various life changes, relationship issues, family issues, cyber bullying, etc. Some studies have shown that spirituality and religiosity can be a supplementary method to cure depression and lower the dosage of anti-depressant prescribed.

Abstract:
Saffron is a valued herb, obtained from the stigmas of the C. sativus Linn (Iridaceae), with therapeutic effects. It has been described in pharmacopoeias to be variously acting, including as an anti-depressant, anti-carcinogen, and stimulant agent. The therapeutic effects of saffron are harbored in its bioactive molecules, notably crocins, the subject of this paper. Crocins have been demonstrated to act as a monoamine oxidase type A and B inhibitor. Furthermore, saffron petal extracts have experimentally been shown to impact contractile response in electrical field stimulation. Other research

Oxidative stress is one of the main pathophysiological processes occasioned by SUDs in different brain areas. Oxidative damage and subsequent deleterious symptoms can happen because of the consumption of psychoactive drugs, both stimulants and depressants.

Risk factors for BRSD include obesity, metabolic dysfunction, smoking, use of respiratory depressant medications (like opiates and benzodiazepines), and alcohol consumption, all of which are highly prevalent among patients with psychiatric disorders. BRSDs are associated with substantial morbidity, disturbed quality of life, and worse prognosis of comorbid psychiatric disorders.

Aberrant decision-making is central to the majority of psychiatric conditions and this provides a unique opportunity for progress. It is the computational revolution in cognitive neuroscience that underpins this opportunity and argues strongly for the application of computational approaches to psychiatry. This is the basis of computational psychiatry. In this article, we consider this emerging field and outline central ch

Social phobia is one of the most frequent psychiatric disorders and is accessible to two forms of scientifically validated treatments: anti-depressant drugs and cognitive-behavioral therapies. Graded exposure to feared social situations (either in vivo or by imagining the situations) is fundamental to obtain an improvement of the anxious symptoms. Virtual reality (VR) may be an alternative to these standard exposure techniques and seems to bring significant advantages by allowing exposures to numerous and varied situations.

Abstract The DSM-III’s neutral stance toward the etiology of mental disorders meant that advocates of all treatment orientations were supposed to find equal value in its symptom-based classification system. In practice, how­ ever, pharmaceutical companies were best able to capitalize on the DSM’s focus on symptoms, which allowed them to broadly construe states of intense sadness as depressive disorder and thus to vastly increase the potential market for anti­ depressant medication.

Amphetamine and cocaine are classed as stimulant drugs, although the distinction between stimulants and depressants can be criticized on the grounds that the same drug may have both actions in turn.

These appear to be mainly due to enhanced central transmission of dopamine and noradrenaline (norepinephrine), with a similar enhancement of serotonin playing a less certain role.
