Psychotropic drugs include:

  1. Antidepressants - used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. They help normalize mood and relieve difficult emotional states.

  2. Sedatives - used to reduce the excitability of the nervous system. They have a calming and hypnotic effect.

Psychotropic substances

Psychotropic drugs are medications that affect a person’s emotional state, behavior and mood. They affect the functioning of the nervous system and mental functions. Mental disorders can be caused by a variety of factors, from genetics to brain injury or disease.

Psychotropic drugs include classes of drugs such as antidepressants, tranquilizers, sedatives, or psychostimulants. They are used to treat various mental disorders and disorders such as depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, addiction to alcohol, drugs and other substances.

Antidepressants are medications from the depressant group that help improve mood and mental well-being. Sedatives calm the nervous system and have a calming effect. Tranquilizers often help with anxiety, fear, and panic attacks. Psychostimulants increase energy levels and improve concentration.

Although psychotropic medications often help overcome severe emotional states, their use should be under the supervision of a psychiatrist. Many of them have serious side effects and negative health consequences if the drug is taken for too long or in high doses. Therefore, it is necessary to follow the dosage and doctor’s recommendations to avoid negative health consequences.

Treatment of mental disorders is a complex task that needs to be entrusted to professionals. Only a psychiatrist can make the correct diagnosis and prescribe the correct treatment, which will help get rid of unpleasant symptoms and restore peace of mind. You should not self-medicate or take medications on your own, as this can lead to serious health problems and unpredictable consequences.



Psychotropic drugs are drugs (medicinal substances) containing active substances of the “psychotropic” type that affect the functioning of the central nervous system. A psychotropic drug not only affects physical symptoms, but also corrects or changes the mental state. In English, this term is used as a group of drugs of the same series.

Psychotropic drugs are widely used in psychiatry due to their wide spectrum of action. This is a very broad group of drugs, which includes: * antagonists and agonists of serotonin receptors (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants); * products with mixed properties (anxiolytics (tranquilizers), nootropics); * psychostimulants; * antiparkinsonian drugs (anticholinergic drugs, cholinergic blockers); * anxiolytics (antipsychotics)
