GlossaryAtypical Antipsychotics

medications treating psychiatric conditions with fewer movement disorder side effects

Atypical Antipsychotics, also known as Second-Generation Antipsychotics (SGAs), are a class of medications used to treat psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Unlike first-generation antipsychotics, they are less likely to cause movement disorders like tardive dyskinesia and often have a broader range of action, affecting both dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain.
