Aripiprazole

Aripiprazole is a medication primarily used to treat mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. It belongs to a class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics. Aripiprazole works by balancing certain chemicals in the brain, which helps improve mood, thoughts, and behavior. Unlike some other antipsychotics, it has a unique mechanism that can both activate and calm brain activity, which helps reduce side effects. Common side effects include nausea, dizziness, and anxiety. It's important to take it as prescribed and discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider.
