psychotropic medication

Psychotropic medications are drugs specifically designed to affect how the brain functions, impacting mood, perception, and behavior. They are commonly used to treat mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. By altering the levels of certain neurotransmitters—chemical messengers in the brain—these medications can help balance emotions and improve mental well-being. While they can be effective, it's important to use them under a doctor’s supervision, as they may have side effects and require careful monitoring to find the right dosage and type for each individual.
