Thymoleptic Agents

Thymoleptic drugs

Thymoleptic drugs are the collective name for all drugs in the group of antidepressants and neurometabolic drugs. The group also includes normothimics (compensating for chemical poisoning) and anxiolytics, some drugs for epilepsy with a specific mechanism of action, and antiparkinsonian drugs.

The main and most common method of classifying thymolepsy drugs is based on division according to pharmacological action - this allows drugs to be grouped according to the principle of their effect on the brain, that is, how they affect a particular neurotransmitter system of the body. That is why there are an impressive number of ways to divide thymoleptic drugs into groups. Therefore, we will not quote dozens of variants of this division here - instead, we will tell you about the main classes of this neurotropic substance.

Neurotransmitters are intermediaries between body cells, through which excitation is transmitted in nerve tissues. The body's neurotransmitter systems and, consequently, their regulation are directly related to the treatment of many diseases. Accordingly, such a symbiosis could lead to the formation of a broad category of drugs - neurotropic drugs that affect the nervous system. Such therapy has a wide range of health goals, it brings medical and social benefits to people and society - depressology is considered one of the most significant areas in medicine, and it helps both in the treatment of everyday mental problems and in severe mental illnesses. Antidepressant drugs include active substances that have specific mechanisms of action, but similar therapeutic effects - including a positive effect on the immune system and brain activity. They have different chemical structures, but very often the common chemical basis of the drug allows specialists to easily work with a whole list of analogues from this class. Antiserotonin drugs

Serotonin is one of the neurotransmitters that plays an important role in the functioning of the psyche and other processes. It is the lack of serotonin that is characterized by depression, sleep disturbances, decreased energy, decreased appetite and body weight. A typical antidepressant in this group is Fluoxetine, often called Prozac. In addition to basic therapy, it is used in the treatment of schizophrenia. The most well-known drug against opium addiction today is the substance Codeine. The medicine Venlafaxine - Venlaxor, Phenazamir - acts as an antidepressant for chronic pain. The antiserotonin thymolpyrasite Cipralex increases motivation, mood, reduces anxiety and fear, and is used for depression in pediatric practice. Nootropics
