Answer: The most effective treatments for schizophrenia are currently antipsychotics.

Explanation:

Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder characterized by the interpretation of reality abnormally. The causes for which a person can have schizophrenia are unknown but research shows that genetic factors play an important role when it comes to developing a disease.

Schizophrenia has no cure, treatments are focused on helping to improve the patient's quality of life. That is, the person can control the symptoms of the disease. For many years various medications have been used for the treatment of schizophrenia. Antipsychotics are the most used due to the improvements that people present.

There are the first generation antipsychotics, such as:

- Chlorpromazine

- Fluphenazine

- Haloperidol

- Perphenazine

These antipsychotics have very frequent and very significant side effects such as sedation, drowsiness, dizziness, and symptoms similar to those that a person with Parkinson's disease can have such as stiffness, tremors, and involuntary muscle contractions. The advantage that these medicines offer is their low cost.

There are also second-generation antipsychotics, such as:

- Clozapine

- Olanzapine

- Risperidone

- Ziprasidone

- Iloperidone

These antipsychotics take advantage of the first generation because the side effects are less risky, but their cost is higher.
