| Neurotransmitters
and Mania: Hypotheses |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
| • | Deficient
serotonergic neurotransmission has been |
||||||
| hypothesized
as a factor in mania AND depression. Perhaps |
|||||||
| because
it contributes to GABA deficit. |
|||||||
| • | Anticonvulsants
as mood stabilizers and anti-manic agents |
||||||
| suggest
GABA deficiency may contribute to mood instability. |
|||||||
| • | Increased
NE and DA activity may underlie mania |
