Antipsychotics are a class of drugs used to treat serious mental illnesses such as psychosis, as well as other emotional and mental disorders. Furthermore, they are prescribed for the treatment of persistent hiccoughs and pain caused by restlessness during palliative care.

Psychosis is a mental illness in which the patient loses touch with reality. The condition is frequently accompanied by hallucinations or delusions. The patient often hears voices that aren't actually there when experiencing hallucinations, whereas delusions associated with psychosis consist of feelings or ideas that aren't based on reality.

Antipsychotics help to control the symptoms of psychosis as well as less serious mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder and mood disorder, which can progress to psychosis later in life. Antipsychotics alter the effect of neurotransmitters in the brain to regulate their levels. Neurotransmitters aid in the transmission of information throughout the brain. Dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin are among the neurotransmitters that are affected. The primary neurotransmitter affected by antipsychotics is dopamine; an overactive dopamine system may be one cause of the hallucinations and delusions common during psychosis.

Antipsychotic drugs are used to treat bipolar disorder in the short or long term to control psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, or mania symptoms. These symptoms can occur as a result of acute mania or severe depression. Some are also used to treat bipolar depression, and several have been shown to be effective in preventing future episodes of mania or depression.

Antipsychotics are also used "off label" as sedatives, for insomnia, anxiety, and/or agitation in people with bipolar disorder. They are frequently combined with a mood-stabilizing drug and can alleviate mania symptoms until the mood stabilisers take full effect. Some antipsychotic medications appear to help stabilise moods on their own. As a result, they may be used as a long-term treatment option for people who do not tolerate or respond to lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid) and anticonvulsants.

Antipsychotic drugs aid in the regulation of brain circuits that control thinking, mood, and perception. It is unclear how these drugs work, but they usually alleviate manic episodes quickly. The newer antipsychotics usually take effect quickly and can assist you in avoiding the reckless and impulsive behaviours associated with mania. Within a few weeks, more normal thinking is usually restored.
