antipsikotikë

Antipsikotikë, also known as neuroleptics, are a class of medications used primarily to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. They work by modulating dopamine activity in the brain, which helps to reduce symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. Antipsikotikë are typically administered orally or intravenously and can have side effects including extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), such as tremors and rigidity, as well as metabolic issues like weight gain and diabetes. The choice of antipsychotic medication depends on the specific symptoms of the patient, their medical history, and potential side effects. Commonly prescribed antipsychotics include haloperidol, risperidone, and aripiprazole. The use of antipsychotics is a subject of ongoing research, with efforts to develop new medications that are more effective and have fewer side effects.
