Plant-Derived Psychotropic Agents Targeting Neurotransmitter Systems: Pharmacognostic Evidence, Mechanisms, and Clinical Relevance
Abstract: Psychiatric health problems are also a large burden on global health and existing psychotropic drugs may be restricted by relative effectiveness, side effects, and inadequate long-term tolerability. Plant- based psychotropic agents have subsequently been the focus of interest in the form of complementary or alternative therapies. This review outlines the pharmacognostic, mechanisms of action and therapeutic importance of plant-based psychotropic agents against central neurotransmitter systems. The traditional medicinal practices give …

The Hidden Struggle: Premenstrual Depression its Impact on Women’s Health and Management Strategies: A Narrative Review.
Abstract: Background: Premenstrual depression, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), represents a significant yet underrecognized contributor to women’s mental health burden. Hormonal fluctuations during the luteal phase interact with neurotransmitter systems, particularly serotonin and GABA, leading to affective and somatic symptoms that impair daily functioning. Objective: This systematic review synthesizes evidence on the prevalence, pathophysiology, psychological impact, and management strategies of premenstrual depression among reproductive-aged women, with particular …

Studying the effects of Exposure to Chemicals on The brain and Nervous System and The risk of Chemical Pollution
Abstract: Scientific research and studies on chemical pollution show that exposure of the brain and nervous system to chemicals causes serious damage ranging from cognitive, motor, and nerve cell disorders to chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's and neurological paralysis. These substances (such as lead ions, mercury, solvents that combine and dissolve easily in the blood, and pesticides) disrupt neurotransmitters and cause cell damage, especially during the early stages of body development. …
