This paper will provide a clear discussion causes and consequences of noncompliance with lithium and possible solutions to noncompliant behaviors. Furthermore, it will show how the serotonin impact mood, and how do SSRIs improve depressive symptoms. The benefits and risks of local and general anesthetics will as well be discussed. Finally the paper will provide the mechanism of action for propofol, benefits of this drug, when its use appropriate as well as the risks involved.
1 Discuss causes and consequences of noncompliance with lithium and possible solutions to noncompliant behaviors.
Non-compliance is taken to be the most frequent cause of recu
ence in the time of prophylactic lithium medication. It is associated with the unconducive or poor reaction as well as high level of suicidality. Being wide and complex in phenomenon, it may have many causes. At a time when manic-depressive patients move on in unsatisfying condition known as 'naturalistic' trials. This shows that such kinds of conditions are insufficient for the long-term maintenance medication. As a possible solution to the noncompliant behaviors, lithium treatment needs to be accompanied by the co

The measures build that need to be used has to depend on the three pillars, namely; information, supervision and finally support. Instruments, for example; Lithium attitude or people’s reactions on the Lithium shows that negative attitude is much related or associated with the higher non-compliance rate (M, n.d.).
2. How does serotonin impact mood, and how do SSRIs improve depressive symptoms?
Serotonin acts as a neurotransmitter; this is a type of chemical that is responsible of relaying signals from one region to the other in the
ain. However, research indicates that imbalance in the serotonin level usually influence mood in the way that redirects to depression. By an application of a technique known as ‘tryptophan depletion’ which usually reduces the serotonin level in the
ain, it is found that men turn out to be impulsive, however, not necessarily change their mood. Women on the other hand, go through a marked drop in mood and then turn out to be cautious. This is an emotional reaction that is commonly associated with mood: depression.
