psychotropic drugs

Psychotropic drugs are medications that affect the brain’s chemistry to alter mood, perception, or behavior. They are commonly prescribed to treat mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. These drugs work by adjusting the balance of neurotransmitters—chemical messengers in the brain—helping to stabilize mood, improve thinking, or reduce symptoms. They are used under medical supervision to manage mental health symptoms effectively, and different types target specific conditions or symptoms. While generally beneficial, they may have side effects and require careful monitoring by healthcare professionals.
