Study Notes
Domain 3: Interventions
- Knowledge of evidence-based interventions, including psychopharmacology, drug classification, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics
- Pharmacokinetics involves what the body does to the drug, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion
- Pharmacodynamics involves what the drug does to the body, including interaction with biological targets at the molecular level
Psychopharmacology
- Two drug classification systems: Anatomical-Therapeutic-Chemical (ATC) and Mechanism of Action (NbN)
- Biological targets of common psychoactive drugs include:
- Neurotransmitter transporters
- Vesicular transporters
- G-protein coupled receptors
- Enzymes
- Ion channels
Neurotransmitter Transporters
- Inhibition of presynaptic transporters increases the availability of neurotransmitters in the synapse to bind with receptors on the post-synaptic neuron
- Examples of transporter-based drugs include:
- Fluoxetine (Prozac, Fluotex)
- Domain: Serotonin
- Mechanism: Reuptake inhibitor
- Approved indications: MDD, OCD, PTSD, Bulimia nervosa, Panic disorder, Trichotillomania
- Efficacy and side effects: Improves symptoms of depression and anxiety, reduces compulsive behavior and obsessional thoughts, but may cause GI symptoms, anxiety, changes in sleep, and sexual dysfunction
- Fluoxetine (Prozac, Fluotex)
Educating Yourself and Your Clients
- Importance of building confidence in terminology and pharmacology
- Resources for learning about psychopharmacology:
- Framework for researching and educating clients about psychoactive drugs:
- Identify the domain and mechanism of action
- Identify the approved indications and potential efficacy and side effects
- Develop practical notes for clients and clinicians
