Hi I'm reviewing psychiatry pathology right now in FA and I'm somewhat confused with the NT changes. They don't really make much sense to me. I never really dug into it during school year but I figured now is the time to make sense of stuff.
Can anyone make sense of the chart on page 503 of FA2014? Some of the disorders and their associated NT changes make sense but others not so much.
Parkinson Disease: increase 5-HT
What does 5-HT have to do with Parkinsons? I view 5-HT as sort of a happy/calming NT hence using SSRI with depression.
Huntington Disease: decrease ACh
ACh helps you move so I would have expected that to increase not decrease.
