Analyze and describe the agonist-antagonist activity of the drugs, and the receptor types and subtypes on which the drugs will exert their pharmacological action.

Elaborate on the Topic for Your Critical Review
This assignment continues your analysis of your selected neuropsychological disorder. The disorder is the same disorder you selected in Week 1 and for which you discussed its neurobiology in the Week 1 assignment.

Reminder – your completed Week 1 and Week 2 assignments will be used as a foundation to help you complete your Week 6 assignment on the same disorder. Thus, your work in Week 1 and in Week 2 will be used to support your work in Week 6.

This week, please focus on the pharmacological treatment of your selected disorder. Other modes of treatment are not the focus of our class. For instance, papers that discuss psychotherapy, other than in passing, will not be given credit. In your paper, please be sure that the following aspects of your topic are discussed:

Describe the key classes of drugs used to treat your selected disorder. A “class” of drug usually indicates the drug’s mechanism of action . Be sure to explain why this class of drugs or classes of drugs would be helpful in treating your selected disorder by describing the action of these drugs on the neurotransmitter system(s) involved in the disease process. Within each class of drug, there will be one or more drugs available on the market for use in clinical management, and examples of these should be included in your discussion.
Analyze and describe the agonist-antagonist activity of the drugs, and the receptor types and sub types on which the drugs will exert their pharmacological action. Indicate if these drugs will reverse or slow the disease process, or if they will only help ameliorate symptoms.

To what degree do you/they seem influenced by the concept of addiction being a brain disease? To what degree were you/they able to include multiple causal factors?

Biological Basis of Addiction&

Dingel presents the argument that the complexity of genetic and environmental contributions to addiction are often oversimplified in the media. The prevailing arguments may be distilled to explain addiction as either a lack of willpower or genetic fate. In your Substance Abuse and the Family text, Reiter discusses the gene-environment interactional model. After reading about these different ways of conceptualizing addiction, discuss what factors resonate most with you. You might also consider how members of your community tend to explain addiction. Reminder: you may need to ask a couple of people you know how they explain why people use alcohol or drugs to the point they are addicted.

Consider the following questions in your discussion post:

To what degree do you/they seem influenced by the concept of addiction being a brain disease?
To what degree were you/they able to include multiple causal factors?
How can we explain the role of biology and environment to family members of someone who may be in treatment for a substance use disorder?
How does systemic thinking help to make sense of multiple influences to consider with future clients?
