Drug Therapy01:28

Drug Therapy

37
The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.

Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

103
Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

Antidepressant Drugs: MAOIs and Other Agents

183
Atypical antidepressants, including bupropion (Wellbutrin), mirtazapine (Remeron), nefazodone (Serzone), trazodone (Desyrel), and vilazodone (Viibryd), offer unique mechanisms of action. Bupropion weakly inhibits dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake, aiding depression treatment and smoking cessation, with a low risk of sexual dysfunction. Mirtazapine enhances serotonin and norepinephrine neurotransmission, leading to sedation, increased appetite, and weight gain. As a result, it helps treat...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing interventions
  • Mental health research
  • Patient adherence strategies

Background:

  • Over 50% of patients with serious mental illness (SMI) are nonadherent to antipsychotic medication.
  • Nonadherence leads to patient safety risks, relapse, and rehospitalization.
  • Routine nursing follow-up is crucial for improving adherence in SMI patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the impact of nonadherence in patients with SMI.
  • To evaluate telephonic medication adherence programs for improving patient outcomes.
  • To highlight the positive effects of enhanced medication adherence.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of telephonic follow-up interventions (2016-2021).
  • Searched databases: PubMed, CINAHL, ProQuest, Cochrane Library.
  • Included studies on psychiatric disorders, telephone adherence interventions, and adherence questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • Telephonic follow-up post-discharge effectively promotes medication adherence in mental illness.
  • Interventions provide emotional support, manage side effects, and offer appointment reminders.
  • Enhanced patient support improves overall well-being.

Conclusions:

  • Telephonic follow-up is an effective short-term intervention (under 24 months) for improving adherence in SMI.
  • Further research is needed on long-term telephonic follow-up benefits (over 24 months).
  • This strategy benefits patients with chronic diseases and mental illness risks.
