common description of depression, neurotransmitters are not balanced!! theory is that medication tries to restore the balance

# data[].attributes.body
The underlying cause behind depression is maladaptive automatic thoughts that lead to irrational behavior.

Socratic questioning: leading the patient to realize their beliefs aren't supported by evidence.

tricyclic antidepressants - inhibit the reuptake of neurotransmitters.

monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors - prevents MAO enzyme from degreading the neurotransmitters

selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) - block the reuptake of ONLY serotonin

Tries to change negative thinking patterns by rewarding for positive things such as journaling.

Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs)
Inhibit the reuptake of neurotransmitter. Increase the concentration of neurotransmitters

Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) Inhibitors

Prevents MAO enzyme from degrading the neurotransmitters .Increase the concentration of these neurotransmitters

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)

Block the reuptake of only serotoninLess side effects since only targeting 1 neurotransmitter

# data[].attributes.body
Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs)

Inhibit the reuptake of neurotransmitters

Increase the concentration of neurotransmitters

Side effects are severe (weight gain, dizziness)

Overdose can be fatal

Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) Inhibitors

Prevents MAO enzyme from degrading the neurotransmitters

Increase the concentration of these neurotransmitters

Very effective for atypical depression

Side effects are quite severe

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)

Block the reuptake of only serotonin

Less side effects since only targeting 1 neurotransmitter

Better for research since only have to manipulate 1 IV

Common SSRIS are Prozac (Fluoxetine), Zoloft, Paxil

socratic questioning - a series of questioning that leads the patient to  realize their beliefs are not supported by evidence

behavioral experiments - used to create evidence to counteract maladaptive beliefs

thought records - patient keeps a record of various situations that lead them to realize they’ve been ignoring evidence that contradicts their dysfunctional beliefs

situation exposure hierarchies - patient makes a list of situations from low stress to high stress; patient is to try out behaviors from low stress gradually leading to behaviors of high stress

pleasant activity scheduling - as homework, patient agrees to do 1 pleasant activity every day (something not normally done) to bring about positive emotions or a sense of competence

CBT can take the form of individual or group therapy

Group therapy is more affordable

A patient’s behaviors can be observed in a group (more information)

Seeing others improve can be a stimulus for recovery

Opportunity to test new behaviors with other group members

Some people not comfortable speaking in groups

Harsh feedback from the group can be harmful to a patient

Chemical Imbalance Theory is the theory that depression is caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters and that medication can be used to rebalance the neurotransmitters to cure/help aid depression

CBT Approach caused 'top down' stages; this means that the changes were firstly present at the cortex and then moved down to the brain stem. This is significant because changes in the cortex pertains to psychological effects while the brain stem is associated with physiological effects. For example, medication is "bottom up" changes, targeting physiological effects before reaching psychological effects.

The chemical Imbalance theory involves depression. The neurotransmitters are not balanced which causes an imbalance. Medication is said to improve and ultimately end up restoring the issue.

CBT tries to change negative thought patterns that occur in the human brain. The goal of CBT is helping and rewarding positive outcomes like meditating, journaling, going out with friends, being productive. Most of the depression that people feel and their belief symptoms aren't supported by actual fact.

CBT targets both the automatic thoughts & the irrational behavior

Replaces automatic thoughts with more realistic thoughts

Replaces maladaptive behaviors with more rational, productive behaviors

It is thought that depression is caused by the way that people think, especially through an excess of negative thoughts and emotions that are the result of people basing their thoughts more off of emotions than rationality. Cognitive behavioral therapy makes people examine their own thinking processes and learn how to feel and act rationally
