Most people will take a pill, receive an injection, or otherwise take some kind of medicine during their lives. But most of us don’t know anything about how these substances actually work. How can various compounds impact the way we physically feel, think, and even behave? Sara Garofalo explains how some drugs can alter the communication between cells in the brain.
Lesson by Sara Garofalo, directed by Adriatic Animation.
Webinar Description
This presentation will describe the national scope of stimulant use. The acute and chronic mental health and physical health consequences of stimulant use will be presented, including information on the impact of stimulant use on memory and cognition. The presentation will conclude with a discussion on how to implement effective behavioral treatment interventions with people who use stimulants, and the necessary adaptations needed to engage and retain people in care.
During this webinar you will learn how to:
-Identify three specific national patterns and trends in stimulant use.
-Recall at least three short-term and three-long term physical and psychological effects of stimulant use.

5. Stimulants are substances that act to excite the central nervous system ◦ Caffeine ◦ Amphetmines ◦ Cocaine
6. Stimulants increase alertness, attention, and energy, as well as elevate blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration. Used to treat asthma and other respiratory problems, obesity, neurological disorders, ADHD, narcolepsy, and occasionally depression
7. Stimulants enhance norepinephrine and dopamine. Increase in dopamine can induce a feeling of euphoria when stimulants are taken nonmedically. Norepinepherine also increases blood pressure and heart rate, constricts blood vessels, increases blood glucose, and opens up breathing passages. Video Rating: / 5

The following is taken from ADHD Medication: Straight Answers to Big Questions.
Coach Laurie Dupar: I talk about stimulant medications because what they’re stimulating is they’re stimulating that dopamine in our brain. So I actually called them dopamine boosters.
Dr. Stephanie Sarkis: So there are four neurotransmitters in the brain, there’s serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and GABA, and those neurotransmitters, depending on the level of those neurotransmitters in your brain, that affects ADHD behavior, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, any
kind of brain issue can be related to how much dopamine you have or how much norepinephrine, depending on the disorder that you have between the synapses of neurons in your brain.
Rick Green (Comedian with a degree in Science) neurotransmitter, neuro from the Latin or is it Greek something for brain and transmitter from the English for transmitting. How does it work? Well I don’t want to get all scientific and talk about how the action potential travels from the presynaptic cell down the axon towards the postsynaptic cell which is separated by the synaptic cleft and so the synaptic vesicles that contain the neurotransmitter which has been synthesized from enzymes and then stored in the vesicles until the action potential causes the vesicles to fuse with the presynaptic membrane and release their neurotransmitters into the synaptic gap or cleft and then you know the neurotransmitters flow across and bind with the postsynaptic receptors and
the neurotransmitters in the cleft are deactivated by reuptake or enzymatic degradation leaving the synapse free to transmit the next action potential.
So instead here’s the town of incoming and this is the town of destination and they’re separated by the synapse River and a delivery truck carrying a message comes along and the message is loaded from the delivery truck onto a ferryboat.
The ferry boat crosses the river and the message is unloaded and put on to another delivery truck and the ferry is either taken out of service or it melts and sinks into the river all gone and that ferry is the ship dopamine.
The problem with ADHD is that this dopamine doesn’t stay around long enough, our bodies are recycling it too quickly before it’s had time to make a connection and transmit the information across. It’s (Woosh) gone too soon.
By slowing down this flushing away or recycling or re-uptake of the dopamine the medications allow more dopamine to be available to form the connection and transmit the message.
Dr. Steven Kurtz: you know the medicines that people take correct the amount of dopamine available in these little synapses. These are minute changes it’s not like the presence of dopamine or the absence of dopamine.
So those minute changes account for a lot of difference in outcome.
Rick Green: it’s like I say if the ferry crosses the half-mile-wide river but falls just 30 feet short or doesn’t stay long enough for you to get your car unloaded from the ferry nothing arrives.
Laurie Dupar: and what the medications do is they actually help to, I call re-balance some of those neurotransmitters
Rick Green: well whoa not so fast we’re still using that dopamine to get the signal across. That’s what’s happening.
Laurie Dupar: so it’s like they’re boosting that dopamine in your brain and it can be incredibly effective.
Rick Green: Now unlike a ferry the dopamine is used and removed it’s recycled so that the next signal can appear there’s another gap. They call it re uptake, they take it back up your body re-uptakes it.
If we can slow that down so it stays there a little longer if we can inhibit the re-uptake we have a
re uptake inhibitor. So the stimulant isn’t stimulating your whole body the way music does.
So when you get upset with yourself, I can’t remember where I put my keys, consider that you can’t remember a memory that you never made in the first place.
Dr. Margaret Weiss: The objective of treatment is to optimize the response of the individual.
It seems like stimulants and hyperactivity shouldn’t mix, so why are they so often prescribed to treat ADHD?

Lissa Rankin, MD is an OB/GYN physician, author, keynote speaker, consultant to health care visionaries, professional artist, and founder of the women’s health and wellness community OwningPink.com. Discouraged by the broken, patriarchal health care system, she left her medical practice in 2007 only to realize that you can quit your job, but you can’t quit your calling. This epiphany launched her on a journey of discovery that led her to become a leader in the field of mind/body medicine, which she blogs about at OwningPink.com and is writing about in her third book Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof You Can Heal Yourself (Hay House, 2013).
She teaches both patients and health care professionals how to make the body ripe for miracles by healing the mind and being healthy in all aspects of life, not just by promoting healthy behaviors like good nutrition, exercise, and adequate sleep, but by encouraging health and authenticity in relationships, work, creative expression, spirituality, sexuality, finances, and living environment. She is leading a revolution to feminize how health care is received and delivered by encouraging collaboration, fostering self-healing, reconnecting health care and spirituality, empowering patients to tap into the mind’s power to heal the body, and encouraging women not to settle for being merely well, but to strive for living vital, joyful, authentic lives full of “mojo.”
When not spreading the word, she chills out, paints, does yoga, and hikes in Marin County, CA with her husband and daughter.

Dr. Robert Besser, former acting director of the CDC, tells TODAY: “We have to up the conversation on what is going to turn the tide on this pandemic this winter, and it’s not a vaccine – vaccine is the long game.” Though he says he is not “a double masker,” he says “any lapses of public health recommendations are going to cost us in a really big way.“
