How do SNRIs treat anxiety disorders?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: #1. SSRIs inhibit 5-HT (serotonin) reuptake. #2. SNRIs inhibit norepinephrine reuptake. #3. Activation of postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptor causes an inhibition of neuronal activity in the amygdala, hippocampus, hypothalamus, cortex, and other structures. #4. Continued activation of 5-HT1A receptors cause desensitization. #5. Continued activation of alpha2 heteroceptors by norepinephrine causes desensitization, disinhibiting serotonin release.
