Key points

  • Antipsychotic treatment for psychosis is combined with psychological and social interventions, not used alone.
  • Antipsychotic monitoring checks metabolic, cardiovascular, hormonal and movement-related effects on a regular basis.
  • Bipolar disorder care is separated into manic, depressive and longer-term relapse-prevention phases, each managed differently.

Antipsychotic medicines

Zyprexa, Risperdal, Abilify, Solian, Clozaril, Geodon, Thorazine, Mellaril, Loxitane and Latuda are antipsychotic medicines listed for schizophrenia, other psychosis-related conditions or bipolar disorder. Clozaril is listed specifically for schizophrenia that has not responded to other treatment. Olanzapine is the generic name behind Zyprexa, Risperidone behind Risperdal, and Aripiprazole behind Abilify.
