The correct answer is chlorpromazine.
Chlorpromazine is an antipsychotic drug which is primarily used to treat psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia but also other conditions such bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Schizophrenia's symptoms can be divided into three broad categories; positive, negative and cognitive symptoms. The positive symptoms include the auditory hallucinations, delusions and the paranoia, while the negative symptoms include the apathy and lack of emotions. Chlorpromazine has been seen to reduce the patient's response to the positive symptoms.

marishachu [46]

<h3><u>Processes that form different fossil types:</u></h3>

The remained parts and elements of an organism that live several years ago is called as fossils.

Due to natural processes like weathering, soil erosion and other geological activities fossils are hard to preserve.

Carbonization, permineralization, recrystallization and replacement are the fossil formation processes.

Carbonization is the chemical reaction forming the thin film of carbon of the organic material.

Permineralization includes the fossils of bones and teeth. The recrystallization process is responsible for changing the micro-structure of the organic materials to form the fossils.
