Caffeine: Neurobiological and Psychiatric Implications

I ran across this Psychiatric Times article Caffeine: Neurobiological and Psychiatric Implications on another (non-coffee) forum and found it interesting enough to share it here.

Yes, that is interesting. A very nice example of a nuova point Milano tulip cup, with what seems like a fairly perfect shot, although there appears to be some froth in the crema.

I don't have any psychiatric disorders...as long as I have caffeine.

Properly caffeinated and I am fine.

I found the information about time for full effect and half-life of effect interesting as well as the fact that smoke dramatically reduces the impact of caffeine the most interesting.

I admit.. I had to go to the dictionary many times to read this article..

I found the part about smoking reducing the effectiveness of caffeine interesting. My grandparents were heavy smokers, and they also drank 4-5 pots of coffee a day. Every time I saw them they had a cup of coffee in one hand and a cigarette in the other. As a kid, I wondered how they were able to consume so much coffee. I guess that makes sense now. I also enjoyed reading that low doses of caffeine help to ease anxiety while high doses cause it.
