The adrenal glands have a rich blood supply and experience one of the highest rates of blood flow in the body. They are served by several arteries branching off the aorta, including the suprarenal and renal arteries. Blood flows to each adrenal gland at the adrenal cortex and then drains into the adrenal medulla.

It highlights serotonin's role in depression and its treatment via SSRIs, the functions of glutamate and GABA, and the regulatory impact of neuropeptides on pain. Gaseous neurotransmitters are noted for retrograde signaling.

The sympathetic division is responsible to maintain homeostasis in situations of "fight-or-flight". Sympathetic ganglia along the vertebral column or in the abdominal region receive preganglionic axons from autonomic motor neurons of the thoracic and lumbar region of the spinal cord. The parasympathetic division is responsible to maintain homeostasis when the body is at rest. Parasympathetic ganglia are located near or within the effector organs.

It explains the brain's interpretation of stress, outlining how the sympathetic response prepares the body for "fight, flight, or freeze" actions. It also covers the effects of chronic stress on health, highlighting the role of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary response.

The somatic nervous system causes contraction of skeletal muscles. The autonomic nervous system controls cardiac and smooth muscle, as well as glandular tissue. The somatic nervous system is associated with voluntary responses and the autonomic nervous system is associated with involuntary responses.

It outlines the DSM-IV criteria for diagnosing depression, highlighting symptoms such as low mood, weight changes, and suicidal thoughts. The text delves into the pathophysiology of depression, treatment options, and the role of biogenic amines. It compares different classes of antidepressants, sedatives, and hypnotics, detailing their mechanisms, effects, and potential risks, including addiction and abuse.
