The tolerability of antidepressants is poorly characterized in children and adolescents with depressive and anxiety disorders. Among adverse events that affect the tolerability of antidepressants in youth is activation, a cluster of symptoms that represent a hyperarousal event characterized by impulsivity, restlessness, and/or insomnia. This cluster of symptoms was first identified as a side effect of selective serotonin and selective serotonin norepinephrine inhibitors (SSRIs and SSNRIs) in the early 1990s; however, activation remains poorly characterized in terms of prevalence, risk factors, and pathophysiology. This article describes the pathophysiology of antidepressant-related activation, predictors of activation and its clinical management in youth with depressive and anxiety disorders who are treated with antidepressant medications.
在患有抑郁和焦虑症的儿童及青少年中,抗抑郁药的耐受性特征尚不明确。影响青少年抗抑郁药耐受性的不良事件之一是激越,这是一组以冲动、坐立不安和/或失眠为特征的高度唤醒症状群。该症状群在20世纪90年代初首次被确定为选择性5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂及5-羟色胺-去甲肾上腺素再摄取抑制剂(SSRI和SSNRI)的副作用;然而,在患病率、危险因素和病理生理学方面,激越的特征仍不明确。本文描述了在接受抗抑郁药物治疗的抑郁和焦虑症青少年中,与抗抑郁药相关的激越的病理生理学、激越的预测因素及其临床管理。
