Atypical Antipsychotic
Atypical antipsychotics are a class of drugs used to treat mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, that involve psychotic symptoms, including delusions and hallucinations. They are called ‘atypical’ because, compared to traditional antipsychotics, they are better tolerated and have less pronounced side-effects, making them the preferred choice in many cases. They help to stabilize mood and reduce psychotic symptoms, allowing people to better manage their mental health conditions.
