Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Atypical neuroleptics have been developed to target both the positive symptoms (hallucinations, delusions, etc.) and the negative symptoms (apathy, social withdrawal, etc.) of schizophrenia by targeting both dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain. Traditional antipsychotics primarily target dopamine receptors, while benzodiazepines and tricyclic antidepressants are not typically used in the treatment of schizophrenia.
