PHARMACOLOGY

1. Describe the original set of antipsychotic medications.  What receptors due they primarily affect and what are their side effects?

2. Describe the difference ( pharmacologically--DA receptors...) between the original antipsychotic medications and the atypical antipsychotic medication.

3. Argue for one valid reason a schizophrenic patient would rather ask for Haldol over Clozapine.  Be descriptive!   Hint: look to one particularly dangerous side effect.

4. Describe a new antipsychotic on the market: Caplyta (Lumateperone).   What is it, how does it work in the brain (what does it affect in the brain), and what is it used for? 

5. REAL-WORLD ISSUE: Describe any newer medications for psychotic disorders that are different from the typical and atypical antipsychotics ( release date 2017 or newer—use the internet for help if needed) . Make sure you cover the neurotransmitters the drug affects
