[Interaction between pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy--neurophysiologic basis].

Linking of pharmacotherapy and physiotherapy is considered the most effective approach in psychiatry of our days. While pharmacotherapy is mainly based on research of the monoaminergic systems, the focus of psychotherapy is on stress. The distinct neuronal mechanisms targeted by the two therapeutic modalities are in close affiliation with each other. The aim of this current paper is to highlight basic characteristics and conjunctions of these two systems and to pinpoint core interaction between pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy.
