Scope note: Fármacos estimulantes del estado de ánimo que se utilizan principalmente en el tratamiento de los trastornos afectivos y en afecciones relacionadas. Varios INHIBIDORES DE LA MONOAMINOOXIDASA son útiles como antidepresivos, aparentemente como consecuencia a largo plazo de su regulación de las concentraciones de catecolaminas. Estos compuestos tricíclicos útiles como antidepresivos (ANTIDEPRESIVOS TRICÍCLICOS) también parecen actuar a través de sistemas catecolaminérgicos encefálicos. Un tercer grupo (ANTIDEPRESIVOS DE SEGUNDA GENERACIÓN) constituye una clase diversa de fármacos que incluyen algunos que actúan específicamente en sistemas serotoninérgicos.

Scope note: Mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions. Several MONOAMINE OXIDASE INHIBITORS are useful as antidepressants apparently as a long-term consequence of their modulation of catecholamine levels. The tricyclic compounds useful as antidepressive agents (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, TRICYCLIC) also appear to act through brain catecholamine systems. A third group (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, SECOND-GENERATION) is a diverse group of drugs including some that act specifically on serotonergic systems.
