This is what is known as down-regulation and can lead to longer feelings of depression even after serotonin levels have been restored (Sferios, 2002). People who have taken MDMA for a long period of time have reported depression lasting for up to a year (Ecstasy, 2005). Another negative long term effect of MDMA use is called Neurotoxicity (Ecstasy, 2005). This leads to the oxidation of neurons when dopamine accidentally enters the serotonin axons through reuptake transporters (Sferios, 2002).
Outline and evaluate biological treatments of depression. 8 + 16 marks In the 1960s MAOIs were introduced after accidentally discovering that noradrenaline (a neurotransmitter) was a contributing factor in depression. MAOIs work by blocking the action of monoamine oxidase, an enzyme which flushes noradrenaline out of the synapse. This means that there is more noradrenaline available in the synapse which will, hopefully, result in relieving the symptoms of depression. MAOIs were effective for some people, but they came with severe side effects and in some cases even death when taken with certain food and drink such as marmite and red wine due to a sudden and massive increase in blood pressure.
