- Medications
This booklet describes medications by their generic (chemical) names and in italics by their trade names (brand names used by pharmaceutical companies). They are divided into four large categories--antipsychotic, antimanic, antidepressant, and antianxiety medications. Medications that specifically affect children, the elderly, and women during the reproductive years are discussed in a separate section of the booklet.

The therapeutic effect of various types of antidepressants has been successfully
conceptualized based on monoaminergic system modifications. Although achieved via different mechanisms, all these
modifications enhance the neurotransmitter signal transfer, which suggests that an inadequately low concentration of biogenic amines at synapses and in neurons, for whatever reason, predisposes or causes depression.
