👉 An antipsychotic is a medication prescribed by a healthcare provider to treat people who have schizophrenia, which is a mental disorder characterized by symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. Antipsychotics work by blocking certain receptors in the brain that are involved in regulating mood, behavior, and other aspects of cognition. They can be used alone or in combination with other medications to manage symptoms of schizophrenia.
