Antipsikotik, or antipsychotic medications, are drugs primarily used to manage symptoms of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. They work by altering the effects of neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly dopamine, which can help reduce hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. These medications are typically classified into two categories: typical antipsychotics and atypical antipsychotics. While typical antipsychotics have been used for decades, atypical antipsychotics are newer and often have a different side effect profile. Both types aim to improve the quality of life for individuals experiencing severe mental health issues.
