Pharmacodynamics in Psychopharmacology: Modulating Neurotransmitter Systems

Guo Quan

Psychopharmacology focuses on the study of drugs that modulate neurotransmitter systems to treat psychiatric disorders. Pharmacodynamics, the study of how drugs interact with the body and produce therapeutic effects, plays an essential role in psychopharmacology. This study explores the pharmacodynamics of psychotropic medications, emphasizing their impact on neurotransmitter systems. By understanding the modulation of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, dopamine, and GammaAminobutyric Acid (GABA), researchers can develop targeted treatments for psychiatric conditions
