Title: Monkey Drug Trials Experiment Authors: Deneau, Yanagita & Seevers Year: it was done in 1969 Purpose: The purpose of the experiment was to look at the effects of self-administration on drugs, drug abuse, and drug dependence in humans, by testing it on monkeys. They wanted to observe whether a monkey would become addicted to drugs or not, and to understand better the effects of drugs. Method: First a method was developed, to teach the monkeys how to self- administer the

Describe the etiology of the disorder. Bipolar Disorders are considered complex because of the episodes that are experienced. They include dysfunctional mood, potentially including major depressive episodes, mild to moderate depressive episodes, manic episodes, hypomanic episodes, and mixed episodes, which are often separated by periods of relatively normal mood. (BDII). There are two types of Bipolar Disorders that I will cover in this paper. They include Bipolar I disorder (BP-I) and Bipolar II

categories “novel” and “conventional” (Remington, Martin, Jain, Baskys & Dickey, 1999, p. 55). The “novel” category contains risperidone, clozapine, quetiapine, and olanzapine. The “conventional” contains haloperidol, loxapine, molindone, pimozide chlorpromazine, and piperidine (Remington, Martin, Jain, Baskys & Dickey, 1999, p. 55). The in-depth discussion of all these is beyond the scope of this short paper and only contains a few of these medications. As noted earlier in this paper the three phases

(“Haldol,” 2007). Developed by pharmacologist Paul Janssen in 1958, it quickly became apparent to him upon its use in animal studies that the drug would make a notable contribution to medicine as it was, “similar but much more powerful than that of chlorpromazine” (Annals of Clinical Psychiatry,” 2005). Using the drug in clinical studies proved Haldol to be particularly effective in the treatment of delusions and hallucinations, and it was approved by the FDA in 1967 (Omudhome, n.d.). Schizophrenia is

“To date, there are no clinical trials involving humans for virus specific therapies for MERS-CoV infection. Data regarding ribavirin, interferon and convalescent plasma are limited. Other medications, such as mycophenolic acid, chloroquine, chlorpromazine, loperamide, and lopinavir, have shown an inhibitory effect on MERS-CoV replication in vitro; however, in the absence of clinical data, these drugs are not recommended for clinical use outside clinical trials,” (Alsolamy & Arabi, 2015).

Traditional antipsychotics are used mainly to control hallucinations, delusions, and confusion of schizophrenia. These medications, for example chlorpromazine and haloperidol, primarily block the dopamine receptors and are very effective in treating the “positive” symptoms of schizophrenia. The newer antipsychotic medications, for example Risperdal and Zyprexa, work on both serotonin and dopamine,

Schizophrenia Pathophysiology Schizophrenia is a very complex disorder, and it is said that it involves irregulation of multiple pathways. It is believed that schizophrenics have an abnormal level of dopamine in their brains. Serotonin, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) and glutamate may also play a role. Deficits in acetylcholine muscarinic receptors have been identified in individuals with schizophrenia. “Evidence from genetic, post-mortem and animal studies over the past decade has identified a

They told him that his mission as an officer was to find a missing patient of the institution. Comparing this to prior in class and text knowledge, SSRIs have proven to help with PTSD but Teddy was consuming Chlorpromazine. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy would also help develop coping skills for Teddy’s trauma. The current methods, including where they would run with his identity would not last. Looking at Fight Club, it displays an unrealistic form of treatment where

When we imagine someone who is ill, with a cold or the flu, we picture the individual in clean conditions receiving gentle and compassionate care from a doctor, nurse or care giver. That was not the case for those suffering from mental illness in the 1950s. Individuals with mental illness were locked away in an asylum and treated in inhumane conditions. These patients were suffering but no one seemed to really care; they were viewed as hopeless. Mental health laws began to emerge due to the horrific
