Psychotropic medication is any medication that capable of affecting the mind, emotions, and behavior. Some medications such as lithium which may be used to treat depression are psychotropic. Also it is called a psychodynamic medication.
Psychotropic medications act on the brain and central nervous system. They change the way chemicals in the brain called "neurotransmitters" send messages between brain cells through a synapse or crossing. Each psychotropic medication is used to treat certain "target" symptoms.
Neurotransmitters itself are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission. Neurotransmitters is a type of chemical messenger which transmits signals across a chemical synapse, such as a neuromuscular junction, from one neuron (nerve cell) to another "target" neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell.
The Most Frequently Prescribed Psychotropic Drugs are:
- Xanax (alprazolam), 48.5 million.
- Zoloft (sertraline), 41.4 million.
