ASSIGNMENT 1: Client Advocacy and Connecting Neurobiology to Psychopharmacological Interventions
An awareness of neurobiology and neurotransmitters establishes the critical basis for mental health professionals to understand the connection between psychopathology and psychopharmacological interventions. Mental health professionals use their awareness of the complex interactions between neurobiology, neurochemistry, and psychotropic medications to conceptualize client concerns and formulate treatment strategies.
For this Assignment, review Suzy’s case study and consider the function of neurotransmitters and the way client treatment may be affected by these functions. As a mental health professional, how can you help Suzy understand what might be going on in her brain while at the same time advocating for her case?
In a 2 page, APA-formatted paper, include the following:
