Modern treatments for _______ are based on the monoamine hypothesis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The monoamine hypothesis suggests that depression is caused by imbalances in the levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in the brain. Modern treatments for depression, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), work by increasing the levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain. Treatments for borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder are not primarily based on the monoamine hypothesis.
