3 Main Neurotransmitters we will discuss for treating Depression:
Serotonin: Can help with depression, anxiety, obsessions and compulsions.
Norepinephrine: Can help with depression, alertness and energy (can increase anxiety)
Dopamine: Can help with depression, anxiety, attention, motivation, pleasure, reward
The Rule of Sixes (Main points: Antidepressants don’t work immediately, they generally need to be continued
for a period of 6+ months, and should not be stopped abruptly).
• 6 Weeks: Try a certain dose of a drug to see if there is a therapeutic effect.
• 6 Months: Once an effective dose is found, continue the treatment for at least 6 months.
• 6 Weeks: Taper off to avoid side effects (when switching medications) and withdrawal symptoms (when
discontinuing)
