, NR546 Psychopharmacology: Week 1

8. Psychoactive & Psychotropic Med- According to the World Health Or-
ications ganization (WHO, 2020), the terms
"psychoactive" and "psychotropic"
may be used interchangeably and
are the most neutral and descriptive
terms for medications that affect men-
tal processes.

9. Symptom-Based Treatment - A diagnosis is determined based on
the presenting symptoms and by uti-
lizing well-developed interview tech-
niques and assessment skills.
- The PMHNP must recognize that
presenting symptoms may represent
what is happening within the client's
brain. For example, changes or loss-
es in grey matter are associated with
numerous psychiatric diagnoses, in-
cluding Alzheimer's disease, schizo-
phrenia, and major depressive disor-
der

10. Challenges of Psychiatric Prescrib- - Several factors hinder the effective-
ing ness of psychiatric drugs making a
one-size-fits-all treatment plan impos-
sible and even harmful. It is impor-
tant to thoroughly understand the full
scope of a client's presenting symp-
toms.
- For example, a client who presents
with depressive symptoms such as a
lack of energy, somnolence, weight
loss, and suicidal thinking may war-
rant treatment with a more stimulat-
ing antidepressant. On the contrary, a
client who presents with both depres-
sive and anxiety symptoms togeth-
er may require a different medication
that will not aggravate their anxiety.
