Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chlorpromazine is a typical antipsychotic medication that works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain. It has been found to reduce positive symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions in people with schizophrenia, and also dampens responsiveness to irrelevant stimuli or distractions. The other options (lithium, D-cycloserine, Ativan) are not typically used to treat positive symptoms of schizophrenia or reduce responsiveness to irrelevant stimuli.
