#Kennedy is now using his post as the highest-ranking #US health official to spread the claim that #psychiatric drugs are a key cause of mass shootings at the nation’s schools and beyond. The idea, essentially, is that #antidepressants and other meds may inadvertently turn people into killers. There is no scientific evidence to support that theory—and extensive research indicates it is untrue.

When a neurotransmitter attaches to receptors in one neuron, it transmits an electrical message that can be transmitted to another neuron. It's kind of like a relay race. There are over 20 different types of synapses, each of which conveys specific messages and are involved in this brain activity differently."

Chemical tweaks to a #toad #hallucinogen turns it into a potential #drug
Targets a different #serotonin receptor from other popular #hallucinogens.
The Colorado River toad (Incilius alvarius), also known as the Sonoran Desert toad, secretes a #psychedelic compound that likes to bind to a different #serotoninreceptor subtype called #5HT1A. And that difference may be the key to developing an entirely distinct class of #antidepressants.
