Gloassary term:

Antipsychotics

Antipsychotics are a class of medications that primarily block dopamine receptors to manage psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, commonly seen in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. They are essential in stabilising severe mental illness and preventing relapse. A key clinical concern is their potential to cause extrapyramidal side effects or metabolic syndrome.
