Antipsychotics (major tranquilizers) are essential central nervous system (CNS) medications used primarily to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. First-generation antipsychotics like Haloperidol and Chlorpromazine block dopamine receptors, while second-generation drugs like Risperidone and Clozapine act on both dopamine and serotonin receptors. Ravikant Sir simplifies these complex neuro-psychopharmacology concepts for exams.
