"However, we can't rule out another situation." Everyone looked at Tian Yuming, and Shi Jinyu nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, if it is caused by man, it will be even more troublesome."
Zhou Jielin asked strangely: "Can mental illness still be caused by humans?"
Liang Yien explained: "Generally speaking, mental illness should be composed of biological factors, psychological factors, and social factors. But some drugs do cause mental disorders. The most popular explanation for mental illness today is biological. Explanation: A person with a mental illness may have different brain structures or functions, or have different neurochemical reactions, whether caused by genetic or environmental damage. For example, many patients diagnosed with schizophrenia It has been confirmed that there are enlarged ventricles and atrophic gray matter in the brain. In addition, some people believe that imbalance of neurotransmitters can also cause mental illness.
Psychologists believe that conflicts, crises, tension, and trauma can lead to mental illness, especially in a person who is easily injured. For example, a child who witnessed a murder by a parent may develop depression and nervousness, and even get a post-traumatic stress disorder.
Sociologists believe that major events and situations can lead to mental illness. For example, during social movements, wars, or suffering from natural or man-made diseases, people in the area have a higher chance of getting mental illness. Regions that are poor, impermanent, and lack resources and assistance will also have a higher chance of getting mental illness than rich and stable regions.
Especially drugs that act on the central nervous system. Of course, not everyone taking the above drugs will induce depression. Whether drug-induced depression will occur is related to the patient's individual quality, family history of psychosis, the amount of medication, and the length of medication. "
Seeing that everyone was still in a state of confusion, Shi Jinyu said, "Xiaoliang, what kind of drug do you think this is probably this way?"
Liang Yien said: "Some things do not always result in hard work, but some things can solve and cause problems. Antipsychotics are the most obvious example. Antipsychotics are mainly used to treat schizophrenia and psychotic symptoms. A class of drugs for mental disorders.
Antipsychotics are divided into two types: typical antipsychotics, traditional antipsychotics and atypical antipsychotics, non-traditional antipsychotics. Typical antipsychotics Typical antipsychotics represented by chlorpromazine are mainly used to treat schizophrenia and mania; atypical antipsychotics traditional or typical antipsychotics are mostly simple dopamine D2 receptor blockers , And the current focus of research and development of antipsychotic drugs is focused on atypical antipsychotic drugs.
In view of the fact that antipsychotics have more pharmacological effects, when many antipsychotics have similar effects, adverse drug reactions have become a decisive factor in whether to use a certain drug. The occurrence of adverse reactions is related to different diseases, drug types, medication methods and dosages, and combined medications. The application of antipsychotics should try to avoid combined medications, and advocate the principle of single medication. When combined medications, attention should be paid to the interaction between drugs, especially the effects of drug metabolism and liver enzymes.
The most common drugs should be antibiotics. Chloramphenicol is the longer one, which can cause auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, disorientation and mental disorders, and can cause polyneuritis. Synthromycin can cause confusion, excessive excitement, anxiety, apathy, depression, horror, nonsense, hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, etc.; penicillin G can cause disorientation, strange behavior, panic, irritability, etc. Hallucinations, etc.; chloroquine is even more terrible, causing fatigue, boredom, irritability, excitement, and mental disorders, even if it can cause personality changes.
There are also anti-tuberculosis drugs like isoniazid, which can cause depression, irritability, delusions, hallucinations, behavioral disturbances, lethargy, fatigue, dizziness, inattention, and confusion.
Although blood pressure lowering drugs are common, they also often cause mental disorders. For example, reserpine can not only cause nightmares, depression, and even suicidal tendencies, anxiety, hypothyroidism, and Parkinson's disease.
Antiarrhythmic drugs. Diisopyramide can cause depression, irritability, fantasy, pain, etc.; Procainamide can also cause dizziness, hallucinations, and delusions; Propranolol can cause depression, drowsiness, hallucinations, etc. Delusions, nightmares, etc.; Digitalis is a drug for disorientation, depression, nightmares, euphoria, delusions, and visual hallucinations.
Anti-convulsants, such as carbamazepine, can cause inattention, memory loss or extrapyramidal symptoms, drowsiness, depression, irritability, impulsive behavior, etc., as well as phenytoin: depression, irritability, aggressive behavior, hallucinations, delirium , Extrapyramidal symptom group, mental retardation, inattention.
Anti-Parkinson's drugs, like levodopa, can cause irritability, emotional instability, anxiety, depression, suicide, anti-social behavior, and hypersexuality. There is also amantadine: depression, anxiety, insomnia, confusion, and excitement disorders. And Antan can also cause nervousness, delusions, hallucinations, and agitation.
Analgesics can also cause mental disorders. For example, the common ibuprofen can cause nervousness, depression, insomnia, hallucinations, nightmares, and paresthesias. Indomethacin can make people feel depression, delusions, anxiety, hostility, hallucinations, etc. Furan drugs such as nitrofurazone and furazolidone can cause unconsciousness, nonsense, unanswered questions, excitement, horror hallucinations, impulsivity, etc.
Barbiturates such as phenobarbital and slumber, etc., long-term use can cause chronic poisoning, manifested as emotional high, excessive excitement, rhetoric, dysphoria, emotional instability, manic-like state, and individual may have consciousness Unclear. Other drugs like cimetidine can cause depression, insomnia, disorientation, hallucinations, delusions, etc.; anticholinergics such as atropine can also cause restlessness, behavioral disorders, and delirium.
These things are quite common, and the side effects are terrible, but I have not seen any serious consequences caused by taking the medicine regularly. "
Zhou Jielin was overwhelmed by these chemical names and said, "Then what should I do now?"
Shi Jinyu did not answer Zhou Jielin's words, but asked Guan Nuo: "It's been so long, have you found the person who hired the lawyer?"
Guan Nuo shook his head and said, "This is the strangest place. The phone number this person left is a black card with no real name, and it is also a kind of space card." (End of this chapter)
