Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Traditional or atypical antipsychotics are the most common medication prescribed for schizophrenia, as they are effective in reducing hallucinations and delusions. Mood-stabilizers or anticonvulsants may also be used to manage mood symptoms, but they are not as effective in treating the core symptoms of schizophrenia. Benzodiazepines are generally used for anxiety or insomnia, and tricyclics or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are used for depression, but neither type of medication is effective in treating schizophrenia symptoms.
