Psychotropic Medications

Psychotropic medications are drugs used to treat mental health conditions by affecting brain chemistry and mood. They can help manage symptoms of conditions like depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Common types include antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotics. These medications work by altering neurotransmitters—chemicals in the brain that influence thoughts and feelings. While they can be effective and improve quality of life, they may also have side effects, so it's important to work closely with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
