Biological Psychiatry
Many treatments in psychiatry have proven effi cacy and known side effects. However, clear, understandable and scientifi c explanations of their actions are thin on the ground. Exploration of drug actions at the fundamental level of the receptor can provide valuable insights for the treating physician. This BJPsych Advances Biological Psychiatry special issue aims to provide theoretical underpinnings that might assist clinicians in making decisions particularly about doses of antipsychotics - including partial agonists - either alone or in combinations. The issue includes an article written by Laith Alexander and Allan H. Young “Recent advances in the psychopharmacology of major depressive disorder” highlighting some of the recent advances in the psychopharmacology of major depressive disorder (MDD). They synthesise evidence on emerging pharmacological therapies targeting the serotonergic system, including the antidepressant effects of vortioxetine and psilocybin.
