ANTIPYSCHOTIC/CLASSIFICATION OF ANTIPSYCHOTIC DRUGS/MECHANISM OF ACTION/TYPICAL AND ATYPICAL

In this vedio we discussed about Anti psychotic/mechanism of action/classification of antipsychotic drug/typical and atypical antipsychotic Antipsychotic medications can reduce or relieve symptoms of psychosis, such as delusions (false beliefs) and hallucinations (seeing or hearing something that is not there). Formerly known as major tranquilizers and neuroleptics, antipsychotic medications are the main class of drugs used to treat people with schizophrenia. They are also used to treat people with psychosis that occurs in bipolar disorder, depression and Alzheimer’s disease. Other uses of antipsychotics include stabilizing moods in bipolar disorder, reducing anxiety in anxiety disorders and reducing tics in Tourette syndrome. Types of Antipsychotic Drugs:- Antipsychotic drugs are divided into two groups: First-generation (conventional, older) antipsychotics Second-generation (newer) antipsychotics Currently, about 95% of antipsychotics prescribed in the United States are second-generation antipsychotics. Doctors have thought that second-generation antipsychotics were somewhat more effective, but recent evidence casts doubt on this. They may have lower likelihood of some of the more serious adverse effects of first-generation drugs. Second-generation antipsychotic drugs may relieve positive symptoms (such as hallucinations), negative symptoms (such as lack of emotion), and cognitive impairment (such as reduced mental functioning and attention span). However, doctors are not sure whether they relieve symptoms to a greater extent than the older antipsychotic drugs or whether people are just more likely to take them because they have fewer side effects. #antipsychotics #schizophrenia #neuroleptic_disorder #mental_disorder #mania #delusion #bipolar #unipolar #extrapyramidalsymptoms #antipsychoticsideeffects #psychopharmacology #typical_antipsychotic #Atypical_antipsychotic #pharmacology_and_toxicology #BPHARM_4TH_SEMESTER_PHARMACOLOGY-I #antipsychotics_drugs #dpharm #bpharmacy #niper #gpat #pharmacy #niper2024 #neet if you have any queries regarding this vedio drop your comment in comments box. if you like this vedio please like, subscribe, comment and share #soumyapharma
