    Glossary Psychotropic Drugs

    substances that alter brain function to affect mood and behavior

    Psychotropic drugs, also known as psychotropic medications or psychopharmaceuticals, are substances that affect the mind, emotions, and behavior by altering brain function. They are commonly used to treat mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. These drugs work by influencing neurotransmitters, the chemicals in the brain that transmit signals between nerve cells.
