desipramine and Mental Disorders

desipramine has been researched along with Mental Disorders in 40 studies

Desipramine: A tricyclic dibenzazepine compound that potentiates neurotransmission. Desipramine selectively blocks reuptake of norepinephrine from the neural synapse, and also appears to impair serotonin transport. This compound also possesses minor anticholinergic activity, through its affinity to muscarinic receptors.
desipramine : A dibenzoazepine consisting of 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine substituted on nitrogen with a 3-(methylamino)propyl group.

Mental Disorders: Psychiatric illness or diseases manifested by breakdowns in the adaptational process expressed primarily as abnormalities of thought, feeling, and behavior producing either distress or impairment of function.

"Twenty-five adult subjects with severe morbid onychophagia (nail biting) and no history of obsessive-compulsive disorder were enrolled in a 10-week double-blind cross-over trial of clomipramine hydrochloride and desipramine hydrochloride."5.07A double-blind comparison of clomipramine and desipramine treatment of severe onychophagia (nail biting). ( Lenane, MC; Leonard, HL; Rapoport, JL; Rettew, DC; Swedo, SE, 1991)
"Clomipramine was superior to desipramine in the acute treatment of body dysmorphic disorder symptoms as measured by assessment of patients' obsessive preoccupation with perceived body defects, repetitive behaviors in response to this preoccupation, and global ratings of symptom severity."2.69Clomipramine vs desipramine crossover trial in body dysmorphic disorder: selective efficacy of a serotonin reuptake inhibitor in imagined ugliness. ( Allen, A; Aronowitz, B; Hollander, E; Kwon, J; Schmeidler, J; Simeon, D; Wong, C, 1999)
"Treatment with desipramine results in differing degrees of subjective side effects and changes in vital signs across the life cycle."2.41Side effects of desipramine and age. ( Bilich, C; Galanter, CA; Walsh, BT, 2002)
"Four cases of sudden death in children 12 years or younger during desipramine treatment were identified between 1986 and 1992."1.29Estimation of the association between desipramine and the risk for sudden death in 5- to 14-year-old children.
