- This video provides an introduction to schizophrenia, its relation to dopamine, the different families of dopamine receptors, psychosis, and anti-psychotic drugs. You have probably heard of both schizophrenia and dopamine, but did you know that they are intimately related?

The dopamine hypothesis that you mentioned does not make sense. Since D2 receptors are predominantly inhibitory owing to their inhibitory action though G-protein activated inwardly rectifying potassium channels. Then a high density D2 receptor phenotype among schizophrenia sufferers would therefore lead to a hypo-dopaminergic state within the Mesolimbic regions.
This is exactly what I'm trying to understand but now where seems to explain it
dopamine inhibits the d2 receptor, enabling the action potential in the post neuron. dopamine is the agonist, drugs - as needed in the role of the antagonist - inhibit the receptor from being contacted by the agonist, which agonist is the dopamine, to be incapable to bind and inhibit as per proper action. you inhibit the inhibitors with drugs in order to neutralize them from acting the cycle of their action potential.
dopamine inhibits as an agonist, drugs against schizophrenia inhibit as an antagonist.
I believe that even NMDA is highly involved with how the brain sort of "balances out" what comes in to the brain and really how it is processed together with out thoughts and feelings.
Because when i have been on Nmda Antagonist 3-Meo-PCP (Phencyclidine Analogue) for months even at quite low doses i was suffering from some kind of "Psychosis" for months even though it was light(Because i don't have an imbalance normally). And at that time i had an abnormally low dopamine function due to both ADHD and downregulation because of constant use of Reuptake inhibitors(Phenidates) for years. So i had both hypo-dopaminergic and Hyper Glutaminergic(NMDA Upregulation) things going on simultaneously.
Just wanted to share how strange and complicated this is. But i am normal now so don't worry and won't put myself in that situation again because it is insanely scary really.

Question. My D2 dopamine receptors have been blocked by antipsychotics. I've stopped taking them, due to them leaving me completely emotionless, lacking anything even slightly resembling motivation completely. I've been off them for around 6-7 months now, but my emotions and motivation still haven't returned, at all. Is there any hope for these receptors to start working again, once they've been screwed around with so much? I'm starting to think it might just never go back to "normal". I've been warned that if they do start working again, i may have more episodes, but honestly, i can think of nothing worse than spending another year lacking any feeling. I pretty much just exist for no reason at this point, like i'm getting nothing from anything. No sense of achievement, no goals, no consistency. I can force myself to do things that are good for me, but i just can't keep them up, because i simply don't care about anything anymore. I always just end up smoking and trying to distract myself from reality. I've been this way for the past year, and my lungs are suffering a tonne as a result, i'm self neglecting to an extreme degree to the point where it's causing multiple health problems. I wasn't doing anything like this when i was "psychotic".... At least when i was "psychotic" i was keeping good hygiene, exercising daily, working, talking to people, i did all of these things because they made me feel good... And i wanted to keep doing them. Now NOTHING does that for me. LITERALLY NOTHING. Smoking eases the stress temporarily, and as a result, that's pretty much all i do. I wouldn't be surprised if i'm dead pretty soon, lungs feel completely ruined after this year. And it's ALLLLLLL been a result of these antipsychotics, NONE of these things were a problem for me before, i had delusions, and became quite shouty in public, that was all, i was then locked up and drugged against my will, since then, brain doesn't fucking work.
Sorry, i know i've just kind of unloaded on you, but you seem like you might actually have the answers. My doctors are completely useless, all they want to do is get me back on the antipsychotics.
Any insights would be more than greatly appreciated.
Thank you this is really helping me revise for my exams
Great videos! A lot of useful and interesting information told in an interesting manner
this video clears my concept .
Thanks for watching and commenting!
If D2 receptors are inhibitory, why does excess D2 lead to positive symptoms? Im so confused
Bro its not about gi or gq all is just increase dopamin at mesolimbic parhway is causing positive symptom so we reduce dopamin ...it understand in this,way it you got explanituon plz share
Thank you ❤
Thank you. When they talk about minimum dose or maintenance dose of an anti psychotic they mean that the effects are linear proportional to the dose? It is an average value of the studies in all subjects?If the patient lowers to half of the minimal dose what can expect?
Thanks for your comment! First off, I'm not a medical professional, and this information is for general understanding only. My understanding is that recommended antipsychotic doses are based on averages from studies, but individual responses can vary. The relationship between dose and therapeutic effects is not always linear. It's crucial for patients to consult with their healthcare providers when considering any changes to their medication regimen.
I suffer depression after stress from work last year November dopamine levels spike too much dopamine in my brain but i didn't became psychotic or schizophrenic no one knows exactly causes of schizophrenia
Why did GABA and pre GABA make me hallucinate?
Why would GABA and Per GABA make me hallucinate?
That’s a good question! I’ve never heard of that phenomenon before, but if you’re interested you can check out my video on GABA: ruclips.net/video/NV-gCH4O0Os/видео.html
