The short- or long-term use of antipsychotic drugs can control psychotic symptoms associated with bipolar disorder
Antipsychotic Drugs Market |
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.
