Anti depressants such as MAOI’s which increase the available amount of nor adrenaline in the brain, were found to be effective for elevating the symptoms of depression. So when noradrenalin is increased in the brain, symptoms of depression get better, suggests that it is chemicals that are the root cause of depression. This idea is also found in the results of taking reserpine, a drug used to treat high blood pressure. Depression is a unwanted side effect of this drug, as this drug acts by lowering levels of nor adrenaline. So again strongly suggests that low activity noradrenaline, is a factor contributing to the cause of depression.

However, mescaline produces greater tolerance in some users who take the drug repeatedly. These people that take mescaline must take a higher doses to achieve the same results as they have had in the past.

This drugs effects are similar to but more rapid than those of amphetamines. Additionally the effects of cocaine are short-lived, which may help explain why this drug is especially addictive both psychologically and physiologically. Dopamine transporters are responsible for removing dopamine molecules from the synaptic cleft after they have done their job. Cocaine blocks thee transporters, leaving dopamine trapped in the synaptic cleft. As a result, dopamine binds again and again to the receptors overstimulation the cell.

It typically investigates at the level of nerves, neurotransmitters, brain circuitry and the basic biological processes that lie under normal and abnormal behavior. Notable psychologists’ associated with this type of psychology include Rene Descartes & William Harvey. Neurotransmitters are natural substances which aid in the communication between one brain cell and another. Serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, are three transmitters which are often imbalanced in depressed people which cause them to become depressed. There is no single cure for this type of depression but medication is most effective with the treatment of this depression.
Earlier in the century, insulin and electroconvulsive treatments were used very often, but they are no longer much used, primarily because of the availability of antipsychotic drugs, in particular the phenothiazines. In numerous studies these medications have been found to have a major beneficial impact on the disordered lives of schizophrenic patients. Drugs alone are not a completely effective treatment, as schizophrenic patients may need to be taught and retaught ways of dealing with the challenges of everyday life. Psychoanalytic theory assumes that schizophrenia represents a retreat from the pain of childhood rejection and mistreatment. (Gerald C. Davidson, John M.
