What Is Neuropsychopharmacology?

Psychopharmacology is also called "psychopharmacology". A discipline that studies chemicals that directly affect the human central nervous system and affect behaviors, emotions, perceptions, and thought processes. These chemicals can be roughly divided into three categories: (1) Drugs that are mainly used to achieve social effects rather than medical effects, such as alcoholic beverages, caffeine, cocaine, and anesthetics (such as opium and heroin). (2) Drugs used to treat psychosis, such as chloral hydrate and barbie, are characterized by their ability to relieve symptoms of psychosis without side effects (such as preventing patients from moving, coma, or lethargy). (3) Drugs that can cause insanity, such as mescalin and lysergic acid, are mainly used in scientific research. Applying small doses to normal subjects can cause their perception, thinking, and mental state to become extremely disturbed. Drugs for the treatment of psychiatric disorders are useful for research into the chemical and physiological aspects of normal behavior and the causes of psychiatric disorders. [1]
