- Orexin Blocking Sleep Medications - Why Are They So Special? (Belsomra - Dayvigo - Quviviq)
- Getting Back on Track and ADHD
After a 1 minute recap of each video, I’ll be available for questions on these topics or any other related to Mental Health.
- Psilocybin for Mental Health:
More than a dozen studies have now documented efficacy of psilocybin, a chemical found in mushrooms, for treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use disorders. But the total number of patients is still less than 2000 for any particular condition, and patients and treatments have been very carefully selected. Whether psilocybin is a useful in the “real world” remains to be seen.
- Orexin Blocking Sleep Medications - Why Are They So Special? (Belsomra - Dayvigo - Quviviq):
The orexin blocking medications, Belsomra, Dayvigo, and Quviviq, work by shutting off day time activation, rather than being directly sedating. This may not please people expecting to be knocked out at bedtime, but it may result in more healthy sleep.
- Getting Back on Track and ADHD :
People with ADHD often get derailed. Getting back on track requires being aware that you’re off track, orienting to what you had been working on, and motivating yourself to complete the task. Schedules/calendars are your friends in these endeavors.
