Medical treatment of psychotic diseases

Abstract

The population at risk for mental illness and psychotic diseases has grown significantly in the last several years. There has been a steady rise in the risk factors for psychotic disorders, including stress, alcoholism, and drug abuse. Furthermore, the significance of safe treatment of psychotic diseases and prevention of any potential consequences of psychotic diseases or pharmacological side effects of antipsychotic drugs has increased along with the number of complications linked to various psychiatric problems, and drug usage. This thesis examines various hypotheses regarding the pathophysiology of psychotic disorders, classification, features, and diagnosis of psychotic disorders, basic therapeutic modalities, particularly pharmacological means, side effects of medications, and recent adjuvant treatment options.
