Solutions

Expert Solution

1.MAOI's deaminates 5HT, NA,phenylethylamine AND dopamine.

TCA's act by inhibiting active reuptake of biogenic amines like NA and 5HT.

SSRI's act by inhibition of selective reuptake of Serotonin by the Presynaptic neuron..

All the three are the drugs used to elevate mood in depressive illnesses.They all affect monoaminergic transmission in the brain .

2. Auto receptors at presynaptic neurons are over activated .

3. CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) is a therapy in which the Physician talks with the patient and can help him manage the problem by changing his way of thinking and behavior.

In the meantime the drugs will act upon the proper site and give the desired effect.

So the combination of therapy will be effective
