Neuroleptics

Antipsychotics are medications that are used to treat mental disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and others. They act on the central nervous system by blocking certain receptors in the brain, which leads to a reduction in symptoms of the disease.

Antipsychotics can be used either as tablets or as injections. They can also be given as intramuscular injections or as IVs.

One of the most common antipsychotics is chlorpromazine. It is used to treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders. Other antipsychotics such as haloperidol, risperidone, and olanzapine are also used.

It is important to note that antipsychotics are not the only treatment for mental disorders. They can be used in combination with other treatments such as psychotherapy, mood-improving medications, etc.

In general, antipsychotic drugs are an important tool in the treatment of mental disorders and should only be used under the supervision of a physician.

Central nervous system drugs are a separate group of drugs that are used to treat various diseases of the central nervous system. But what is the “central nervous system”?

The central nervous system is the part of the nervous system that is located in the central part of the brain and regulates the functioning of the entire body. The central nervous system includes structures such as the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. These structures are made up of cells called neurons.

With various diseases of the central nervous system, various symptoms may occur, such as headaches, dizziness, weakness, loss of consciousness, convulsions, etc. To treat such diseases, drugs of the central nervous system (neuroleptics) are used, which have different mechanisms of action.
