Neurotransmitters as Biomarkers
Many have been following the evolving reportage here at CorePsych Blog regarding the metamorphosis of the technology of brain science and neurotransmitter measurement ? and the implications for clinical understanding for any psychiatric presentation. The theme is simple: Neurotransmitters, Endocrine/Hormones and Immune System [NEI Supra System]communication networks all conspire to gum up refractory, unresponsive clinical presentations. If we don?t look carefully we can?t see.
If any one of these three is unbalanced, the rest will follow in rust and corruption. The brain won?t work right in thinking, acting or feeling.
Must Review
Just in case you aren?t sure, and want a clear, definitive set of references on all this complexity ? I?m loading up this new paper just for you. Download this paper, read it, forward this message and tweet it. This paper will change the way you are assessing challenging cases that just don?t get better with regular psych interventions.
