About Antipsychotics, Atypical.

Atypical antipsychotics, also known as second-generation antipsychotics, are a diverse class of psychotropic medications characterized by a lower risk of extrapyramidal symptoms compared to first-generation agents.

They primarily exert their therapeutic effects through combined antagonism or partial agonism of central dopamine D2 receptors alongside antagonism of serotonin 5-HT2A receptors, though individual agents vary in their affinity for other neuroreceptors.

This drug class is widely utilized in the treatment of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder, as well as adjunctive therapy in treatment-resistant major depressive disorder.
