Serotonin-dopamine activity modulator (SDAM)

A Serotonin-Dopamine Activity Modulator (SDAM) is a medication that adjusts the activity of two key brain chemicals, serotonin and dopamine, to help manage mental health conditions like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. By balancing these chemicals, SDAMs can reduce symptoms such as hallucinations, mood swings, or agitation. Unlike medications that completely block or increase these chemicals, SDAMs fine-tune their activity, aiming for better symptom control with fewer side effects. This targeted approach helps improve overall stability and functioning in individuals with mental health disorders.
