verfasst von : Prof. Dr. med. Christine M. Freitag, Dr. Tomasz A. Jarczok

Erschienen in: Neuro-/Psychopharmaka im Kindes- und Jugendalter

Verlag: Springer Berlin Heidelberg

Zusammenfassung

Psychopharmakologische Ansätze bei Autismus-Spektrum-Störungen sind aktuell vor allem darauf gerichtet, bestimmte, teilweise auch nur komorbide auftretende Verhaltensweisen oder zusätzliche psychische Störungen zu verbessern. Es gibt einzelne Versuche, die zentrale autistische Symptomatik im Bereich der sozialen Interaktion, Kommunikation, Sprache und vor allem auch im Bereich des stereotypen Verhaltens zu verbessern. Dies ist aktuell nur bezüglich des stereotypen Verhaltens erfolgreich gelungen. In dem folgenden Kapitel sind deshalb differenziell Neuro‑/Psychopharmaka aufgeführt, die bestimmte Zielsymptome bei Autismus-Spektrum-Störungen verbessern. Dabei wurde überwiegend auf Psychopharmaka rekurriert, die einen Evidenzgrad von 2 und besser aufweisen.

Demenzkranke durch Antipsychotika vielfach gefährdet

23.04.2024 Demenz Nachrichten

Wenn Demenzkranke aufgrund von Symptomen wie Agitation oder Aggressivität mit Antipsychotika behandelt werden, sind damit offenbar noch mehr Risiken verbunden als bislang angenommen.

Weniger postpartale Depressionen nach Esketamin-Einmalgabe
