For example, a meta-analysis show that the effect size for the effects of tryptophan depletion on mood in depressed people not taking antidepressants was large (Hedge's g = −1.9 (95% CIs −3.02 to −0.78) [3] Hence, a more accurate interpretation is that tryptophan depletion studies suggest a role for 5-HT in people vulnerable to depression ...
This is a list of psychiatric medications used by psychiatrists and other physicians to treat mental illness or distress. The list is ordered alphabetically according to the condition or conditions, then by the generic name of each medication.

A derivative of α-methylisotryptamine, AAZ-A-154 (DLX-001; (R)-5-MeO-N,N-dimethyl-isoAMT), is a non-hallucinogenic serotonin 5-HT 2A receptor agonist and is being developed for potential medical use in the treatment depression and other neuropsychiatric disorders.
LSD is not considered addictive. These effects typically begin within 20–30 minutes of oral ingestion, peak three to four hours after ingestion, and can last up to 20 hours, particularly with higher doses. An "afterglow" effect, characterized by an improved mood or perceived mental state, may persist for days or weeks following ingestion. [44]
Omega-3 fatty acids It is also conjectured that omega-3 fatty acids may have a mood stabilizing effect. [16] Compared with placebo, omega-3 fatty acids appear better able to augment known mood stabilizers in reducing depressive (but perhaps not manic) symptoms of bipolar disorder; additional trials would be needed to establish the effects of omega-3 fatty acids alone.
[3] [4] [5] The preceding limitations of tryptophan make its use in PET imaging in humans impossible, whereas αMTP is a viable agent for such purposes. [ 5 ] αMTP is first converted by tryptophan hydroxylase into α-methyl-5-hydroxytryptophan (αM-5-HTP or α-methyl-5-HTP), the α-methylated analogue of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), prior to ...

Since 1970s, antimanic drugs have been used specifically to control the abnormal elevation of mood or mood swings during manic episodes. [1] One purpose of antimanic drugs is to alleviate or shorten the duration of an acute mania. Another objective is to prevent further cycles of mania and maintain the improvement achieved during the acute episode.
