How Do Second-generation Antipsychotics Affect Dopamine And Serotonin?

How Do Second-generation Antipsychotics Affect Dopamine And Serotonin? Have you ever wondered how medications for schizophrenia work in the brain? In this informative video, we'll explain the effects of second-generation antipsychotics on key brain chemicals like dopamine and serotonin. We'll start by describing how these medications help manage symptoms of schizophrenia by targeting specific receptors in the brain. You'll learn how they block dopamine D2 receptors to reduce positive symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions. We'll also discuss how these drugs influence serotonin receptors, which can improve negative symptoms like social withdrawal and lack of motivation, while minimizing side effects common with older medications. Additionally, we'll explore how some medications act as partial agonists, providing a balanced approach to dopamine regulation. Whether you're a student, caregiver, or someone interested in mental health treatments, understanding how these medications work can be very helpful.
