List of available summaries

While I write up some real, cited content for this site, I'm putting up brief section summaries up to whet appetites. Most summaries are uncited, so don't take them too seriously.

And now for a list:

  • Antidepressants: Not just PROZAC!
  • Antipsychotics: You don't have to be looney for them to help you
  • Medications used for treatment of Parkinson disease and related issues
  • Bipolar disorder's archetypal treatment, lithium.
  • Pain medications: Not just VICODIN and OXYCONTIN!
  • Stimulants for AD/HD and narcolepsy
  • Supplements: Herbals - Safety, how they work, and how many are similar to modern medications
  • Special and dangerous risks in special populations: Children/younger adults and the suicidal risk with antidepressants, special risks with the elderly, and more
  • Your neurotransmitters GABA and NMDA, and why they're important... we'll also throw ion channels into there for fun.
