The therapeutic transnosological use of psychotropic drugs.

Abstract:

:The current clinical use of psychotropic drugs is transnosologically oriented. This is facilitated by the current classification of mental disorders (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision [ICD-10]) and is perhaps justified if depression and psychosis (taken here as examples) are considered as being complex syndromes with heterogeneous etiologies, but common pathogenesis, more than specific entities. However, this approach does not identify possible differences between specific psychiatric entities, which could in turn mask differences in therapeutic responses and, therefore, therapeutic outcome. This is compounded by the current disharmony between the nosological classification of diseases, drug development, clinical research, and therapeutic uses of psychotropic drugs. Functional pharmacology targeting abnormal behavioral traits could represent an avenue for future research and treatment.

  • The genetics of obsessive-compulsive disorder: a review.

    abstract::Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a serious psychiatric disorder that affects approximately 2% of the populations of children and adults. Family aggregation studies have demonstrated that OCD is familial, and results from twin studies demonstrate that the familiality is due in part to genetic factors. Only three ...
