Depression: Nialamide is primarily prescribed for the treatment of depression. It works by inhibiting the activity of monoamine oxidase, an enzyme that breaks down neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in the brain. By inhibiting this enzyme, nialamide increases the levels of these neurotransmitters, which are associated with mood regulation, thereby alleviating depressive symptoms.
Other Mood Disorders: In addition to depression, nialamide may also be used to treat other mood disorders, such as bipolar disorder or dysthymia, under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Its mechanism of action in increasing neurotransmitter levels can help stabilize mood and improve symptoms in these conditions.
Anxiety Disorders: Some studies suggest that MAOIs like nialamide may be effective in treating certain anxiety disorders, such as social anxiety disorder or panic disorder. By modulating neurotransmitter levels in the brain, nialamide may help reduce anxiety symptoms and improve overall functioning.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Nialamide and other MAOIs have been investigated as potential treatments for OCD, although selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are typically preferred as first-line agents for this condition. MAOIs may be considered in cases where SSRIs are ineffective or not tolerated.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): While there is limited research on the use of nialamide specifically for PTSD, MAOIs in general have been explored as potential treatments for this condition. By modulating neurotransmitter levels associated with stress and arousal, nialamide may have some utility in managing symptoms of PTSD.
Neurological Disorders: Some studies have suggested that MAOIs like nialamide may have neuroprotective effects and could potentially be beneficial in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease. However, more research is needed in this area to establish their efficacy and safety.
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive β X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
