DESCRIPTION
Risperidone works by modulating the activity of two key neurotransmitters:
- Dopamine (D2 receptors): Reduces overactivity associated with psychotic symptoms.
- Serotonin (5-HT2A receptors): Enhances mood and decreases negative symptoms of schizophrenia (e.g., apathy, withdrawal).
Risperidone is a second-generation (atypical) antipsychotic commonly prescribed to treat various psychiatric and neurological disorders.
