Neuere pharmakologische Modelle und Forschungsergebnisse in der Therapie der degenerativ und/oder vaskulär bedingten hirnorganischen Psychosyndrome bzw. Demenzen im mittleren und höheren Lebensalter

Untersuchungs- und Behandlungsverfahren in der Gerontopsychiatrie

Zusammenfassung

Die Entwicklung der Gerontopsychopharmakologie wurde nicht, wie das für die allgemeine Psychopharmakologie der Fall war, durch die zufällige Entdekkung klinisch eindeutig wirksamer Substanzen — wie z. B. des antipsychotisch wirksamen Chlorpromazins im Jahre 1952 durch Delay u. Denniker — eingeleitet. Hinzukommt, daß die systematische wissenschaftliche Untersuchung dieser Substanzen ihrerseits eine auf pharmakologischen Hinweisen beruhende biologische Ursachenforschung der Depression und Schizophrenie induziert hat. Da ähnliche „glückliche“ Entdeckungen bisher der Gerontopsychopharmakologie nicht zuteil wurden, sind in diesem Bereich andere Strategien zur Entwicklung einer rationalen Gerontopharmakotherapie erforderlich. Eine sich anbietende Chance liegt vor allem in der Intensivierung der Erforschung der biochemischen Grundlagen der morphologischen Veränderungen des sog. physiologischen Alterungsprozesses sowie der degenerativ bzw. vaskulär bedingten Abbauerkrankungen. Das Fehlen pharmakologischer Wegweiser im oben genannten Sinne muß dabei durch die auf der Basis der Grundlagenforschung entwikkelten hypothetischen pharmakologischen Modelle ersetzt werden. Wenn auch bisher die Mehrzahl der zu prüfenden hypothetischen pharmakologischen Modelle im Endergebnis nicht bestätigt werden konnten, so liegt ihr Wert trotzdem in der Etablierung einer beginnenden und naturgemäß noch sehr simplifizierenden rationalen gerontopharmakologischen Forschung. Diese Forschungsansätze einer rationalen Gerontopharmakologie sollten in Zukunft stärker gefördert und unterstützt werden.
