Advances in Psychiatry Disorder Treatments

                    Advances in Psychiatry Disorder Treatments

Psychiatry, depression and mental health issues are the most prevailing, devastating and life taking problems in most of the people. It might be caused due to some day to day changes in lifestyle, peer pressure, work stress, and lot more. According to some scientists it might even be caused due to some changes in the genes and is said that genes also hold the key to the cause of the psychiatric disorders and mental health issues.

Over the past many years the sciences have evolved so well that there is a treatment and cure for almost all the disorders and diseases. Innovative treatments of mental health and psychiatric disorders have emerged in both private and public sector due to the expansion in research.

Today, the tests analyse genes that show the effectiveness of  some drugs will be and whether they are prone to major side effects by looking for genes that influence :

• How efficiently a particular drug will be chemically broken down after it is taken.
• How likely the drug will slow “reuptake” of the neurotransmitter serotonin, thereby prolonging stimulation of serotonergic neurons that elevate mood.
• Whether receptors for serotonin are more or less active. Less active receptors correlate with increased side effects of many Selective Serotonin Reuptake   Inhibitors (SSRIs) commonly used as antidepressants.

Clinical trials indicate that these tests doubles the effectiveness of drug treatments for depression and reduces the side effects.Psychopharmacogenomic tests have also just come online for drugs that treat anxiety, ADHD, OCD, Schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. The tests are far from perfect, and currently only address a few neurotransmitter systems and drug metabolic pathways, but progress is rapid. 

Advances have been so promising that I predict genetic screening will be a routine first step in prescribing drugs for mental conditions within ten years.

Hence this Psychopharmacogenomic program is available in many medical schools and hospitals and one can avail the under the expert doctors.Hence these advances thus help in the cure of psychiatric diseases. So why suffer in silences when you can cure it.
