Marapal and Nardil.

Inhibit MAO's which stop the destruction of the serotonin in the Synaptic Cleft which helps boost happiness<3

Drug treatments of Prozac and Zoloft

Where the they work by blocking re-uptake, therefore more serotonin is available to pass messages to nearby nerve cells - treat depression.

1. side effects
2. demotivating process of having to choose the right medication leads to low adherence .
3. cant be used for all populations: kids, pregnant women
4. Relapse rates are high
5. targets the symptoms and not the cause

SSRIs such as lexapro or prozac and MAOIs such as Nardil. SSRIs prevent the reuptake of serotonin in brain synapses, whereas MAOIs prevent SSRIs from being destroyed and therefore, both increase serotonin levels in the brain.

Points For:

1. Controls symptoms in the short run and acts as a stabiliser which helps give the patient respite to focus on the causes.

2. Leads to an improved quality of life as this helps treat symptoms and helps candidates deal with negative events in life.

3. Is a motivating factor as it it is a short term measure which helps them reach out to more long term measures.
