Atipik antipsikotikler are a class of medications primarily used to treat psychiatric disorders, particularly şizofreni and bipolar bozukluk. They work by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain, especially dopamin and serotonin, which helps to alleviate symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and mood swings. These medications are often preferred over traditional antipsychotics due to their lower risk of certain side effects, such as ekstrapiramidal belirtiler, which include tremors and rigidity. Common examples of atipik antipsikotikler include risperidon, olanzapin, and quetiapin, each with unique properties and side effect profiles.
