- I sure can!
-
- Psychotropic drugs that are commonly prescribed to treat patients with mental illnesses are antidepressants, antipsychotics, benzodiazepines and anticholinergic drugs.

- MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTHVIEW
- Live with Dr. Lisset PickensNOW
-
- Disorders that are usually treated with psychotropic drugs include mood disorders, schizophrenia and its counterparts, and anxiety disorders.
