Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder that consists of positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms that can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life and social functioning. The exact pathomechanism of schizophrenia is not fully understood, but it has been linked to certain neurotransmitter abnormalities in the brain, particularly dopamine and serotonin. Atypical antipsychotics are a type of medication used to manage the symptoms of schizophrenia by altering the levels of these neurotransmitters. While they are less likely to result in adverse effects than conventional antipsychotics, they can still cause side effects and should be closely monitored. Treatment-resistant schizophrenia may require the use of clozapine, and other alternative therapies such as electroconvulsive therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, cognitive behavioral therapy, and family therapy can also help manage the disease.
