NEUROTRANSMITERS
biologival explanation.believed group of neurotransmitters (e.g.seretonin) have lower levels in the brain of depressed individuals
3 of 10
NEUROTRANSMITTERS SUPPORT
MCNEIL & CIMBOLIC cerebrospinal fluid in depressed had less seretonin=reduction seretonin in brain.DELGADO ET AL diet lowered Trp. P's returned symptoms.RUHE ET AL remission Trp defcient diet had relapse.ROSEN ET AL urine,high enzymes act on seretoni
4 of 10
NEUROTRANSMITTERS CONTRADICTS
p's without perosnal/family history of depression dont show mood changes after Trp depletion.(lowered seretonin no depression). AAN HET ROT ET AL depressive episode changes seretonin so p's become sensetive to future changes
