This document discusses antipsychotic drugs, including their mechanisms of action in blocking dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain. It provides figures summarizing the classification of antipsychotic agents, their dopamine-blocking actions, and their relative affinities for different receptors. Additional figures examine their effects on other receptors and the adverse effects they can cause. The document also discusses their use as antiemetics and compares relapse rates among schizophrenia patients treated with different antipsychotic drugs.
