Antipsychotic

Antipsychotic medications are a type of psychotropic medication used to treat mental disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. Antipsychotic medications work to reduce some of the symptoms associated with these conditions, such as delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thoughts, and abnormal behaviors. These medications work by blocking certain receptors in the brain, which helps reduce the amount of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, that are released. This helps to reduce the symptoms associated with these mental disorders. While these medications can be effective in treating the symptoms of mental disorders, they can also have serious side effects, including weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and an increased risk of diabetes.
