Abstract

Algorithms have been developed to guide the treatment of simple hypertension. The basic algorithms are modified in the face of concurrent medical conditions, taking into account the various pharmacological effects of antihypertensive agents. This article reviews the neuropsychiatric effects of the major classes of antihypertensive agents (ganglionic blockers, centrally acting agents, diuretics, vasodilators, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors). The purported efficacy of some antihypertensive agents in the treatment of psychiatric conditions is also discussed. Beneficial as well as adverse neuropsychiatric effects are reviewed. In this way, guidelines for the treatment of hypertension are suggested which take into account a broad spectrum of neuropsychiatric considerations.
