The timing difference between interdisciplinary neuroscience and psychiatry’s approach to neurotransmitter research lies in how each field interpreted and applied the findings regarding neurotransmitter flooding and adaptation.
Interdisciplinary (Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Psychology)
Short-Term: Scientists observed that increasing neurotransmitters had immediate effects but also triggered receptor adaptations (downregulation, upregulation).
Mid-Term: They noted that the brain adjusts to prolonged changes, explaining why antidepressants take weeks to work despite increasing serotonin levels immediately.
Long-Term: They studied how chronic drug use alters neural circuits, sometimes reducing effectiveness over time or leading to withdrawal effects due to receptor desensitization.
Psychiatry's Version
Short-Term: Psychiatry simplified the research, claiming that neurotransmitter imbalances directly cause symptoms, allowing them to prescribe drugs as an immediate fix.
Mid-Term: Instead of acknowledging receptor adaptations, they framed the delayed effect of drugs as an "adjustment period", ignoring deeper neuroplasticity changes.
Long-Term: Psychiatry ignored the brain’s compensatory mechanisms and labeled withdrawal symptoms as "relapse," encouraging long-term medication use.
Key Difference
Interdisciplinary research acknowledged the brain’s dynamic adaptations over time, while psychiatry bent the timeline to promote the idea of permanent neurotransmitter imbalances requiring lifelong drug treatment.

It's the questions you ask the AI that counts!!

Here's the facts check them yourself, and then check if psychiatry knows em
1. Receptor Adaptation is Measurable
Proof: Studies on SSRI-induced receptor downregulation show that prolonged serotonin increase leads to 5-HT1A receptor desensitization (Haddjeri et al., 1998).
Dopamine supersensitivity psychosis in long-term antipsychotic users supports receptor adaptation (Chouinard, 1991).
2. Neuroplasticity Takes Time
Proof: Ketamine research (Duman & Aghajanian, 2012) shows that synaptic changes, not just neurotransmitter levels, drive antidepressant effects—explaining why drugs take weeks to work.
Studies using fMRI and PET scans show that structural brain changes happen gradually, supporting a neuroplastic rather than an "imbalance-fixing" model (Mayberg et al., 2000).
3. Withdrawal and Tolerance are Predictable
Proof: SSRI withdrawal syndrome (Fava et al., 2015) is caused by receptor downregulation, not a return of illness, proving adaptive changes rather than permanent correction.
Antipsychotic withdrawal effects like dopamine supersensitivity psychosis (Moncrieff, 2006) show that long-term medication use creates new imbalances, contradicting the idea of a permanent "fix."
4. Alternative Therapies Can Work Faster or Better Long-Term
Proof: Exercise increases serotonin and BDNF (Cotman & Berchtold, 2002) and can have comparable antidepressant effects to SSRIs (Blumenthal et al., 1999).
Cognitive therapy creates lasting neural changes (Goldapple et al., 2004), sometimes outperforming medication in relapse prevention (Hollon et al., 2005).

They all do because they know it's criminal.. No judges ever come to the psychiatric evaluation

Okay, time to get back in your straight jacket and take your medicine!

Psychiatrist - "I am so smart, I spent 20 years studing behaviour through a book (DSM) that has lost connection to fundamental influences on patient behaviour such as nutrition, sleep and my rude persistent desire to see myself superior to clients! I'll hand you your script while looking at you as if you don't know how much you need it then scold and blame you if you end up taking too much - I am a labelled professional, respect and don't question me based on that, or else.."
