A) Behavioral Activation B) Cognitive Remediation C) Compensatory D) Nocebo Research suggests that lithium's mechanism of action in treating bipolar disorder is through in the serotonergic system. A) increasing presynaptic activity B) increasing postsynaptic activity C) decreasing presynaptic activity 50. D) decreasing postsynaptic activity

Explanation / Answer

44. 50-70% concordance rate between identical twins.

45. Antidepressants actually cause the blocking of serotonin in the brain.

46. Higher levels of ACTH and cortison are found in partients with depression.

47. Lack of pleasure in depression patients is caled anhedonia

48. This deals with the neurotransmitter release.

49. Cognitive remediation (cognitive therapy) would be used for this purpose.

50. Lithium Increases Synapse Formation between Hippocampal Neurons by Depleting Phosphoinositides.
