Psychiatric medications

Sometimes the antipsychotic you first try may not lead to improvement in symptoms. This is because each person’s brain chemistry is unique. What works well for one person may not do as well for another. Be open to trying another medication or combination of medications in order to find a good fit. Let your doctor know if your symptoms have not improved and do not give up searching for the right medication!

A psychiatric medication is a licensed psychoactive drug taken to exert an effect on the chemical makeup of the brain and nervous system.
