As of 2022, 24% of Americans were taking psychiatric medications of some kind.1 These psychotropic drugs are used to treat mental health disorders.

What Are Psychotropic Drugs?
Treatment providers often combine these prescriptions with psychotherapies and other methods to address mental health issues. The right combination of treatment and medication can transform a person’s life. However, like all medications, potential side effects and risks are involved. This guide offers an overview of psychotropic drugs and their role in treating mental health disorders.
Psychotropic drugs affect thoughts, mood, and behavior. They work by regulating receptors and transmitters in the brain. Because mental health disorders can result from an imbalance of brain chemicals, these medications can provide relief by restoring a healthier chemical balance.2
Types of Psychotropic Drugs
This class of drugs includes five main categories of medications that are prescribed to treat a full range of mental health disorders.
Antidepressants
Antidepressants are the most commonly prescribed psychotropic medications. Antidepressants impact the brain’s serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine levels, which regulate emotion. Increasing these levels can combat the symptoms of depression. Types of antidepressants include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and tricyclics.3 Commonly prescribed antidepressants include Prozac, Zoloft, Effexor, and Pamelor.
Antipsychotics
Antipsychotics, also known as neuroleptics, are used to address symptoms of psychosis, such as delusions and hallucinations. They come in two forms: antipsychotic medications and atypical antipsychotics. Atypical antipsychotics are more commonly used because they have fewer side effects and have proven effective, especially in treating schizophrenia.4 Clozapine, Risperidone, and Olanzapine are some commonly prescribed antipsychotics.
Anti-Anxiety Drugs
Anti-anxiety medications include anxiolytics, sedatives, and hypnotics. These medications limit the physical and emotional effects of anxiety disorders by making the person feel calmer and more relaxed. Benzodiazepines (benzos) are the most well-known anti-anxiety medications.5 Commonly prescribed benzos include Xanax, Ativan, and Valium.
Mood Stabilizers
Mood stabilizers work by reducing “abnormal” activity in the brain. These drugs are usually used to treat mental health conditions that involve radical mood swings, such as bipolar disorder.6 Mood stabilizers include quetiapine, lithium, and valproic acid.
Stimulants
Stimulants increase the activity of the central nervous system and can be used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy, and other conditions.7 Commonly prescribed stimulants include Adderall, Ritalin, and Dexedrine.
Uses for Psychotropic Drugs
Medical professionals may prescribe psychotropic drugs to address the following mental health disorders:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Bipolar disorder
- PTSD
- Schizophrenia
- ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)
- Insomnia
- SAD (seasonal affective disorder)
Psychotropics are often combined with psychotherapy to treat these disorders. The medication can lessen symptoms, so the person has a more stable mindset to address underlying issues of their mental health condition. Combined treatment may involve therapy, life skills development, and holistic treatments.
Side Effects of Psychotropic Drugs
As with any medication, there are risk factors involved with the use of psychotropic drugs.
Possible side effects for each type of psychotropic include:
- Antidepressants: Weight gain, fatigue, drowsiness, and loss of sexual function
- Antipsychotics: Dry mouth, digestive issues, nausea, and blurred vision.
- Anti-anxiety drugs: Weight gain, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea.
- Mood stabilizers: Diarrhea, vomiting, skin rash, and constipation
- Stimulants: Weight loss, insomnia, chest pain, and headaches.
Less common, serious side effects include:
- Suicidal thoughts
- Seizures
- Mania
- Allergic reaction
Risks of Psychotropic Drug Use
In addition to the potential side effects, use of psychotropic drugs can involve other health risks. These include:
Heightened Symptoms: Research has revealed that psychotropic drugs can cause an initial worsening of symptoms. To minimize this risk, medical providers recommend starting with a low initial dose and only increasing this dosage if necessary.8
Addiction: Many psychotropic drugs can be addictive. Benzodiazepines are among the biggest concerns regarding addiction. The FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) updated its box warning in 2020 to reflect that benzodiazepine use can lead to misuse, drug abuse, and addiction even when taken at recommended dosages.9
Drug Interactions: Potentially dangerous drug interactions occur when a substance, such as another medication, food, or alcohol, interacts with psychotropic medications. The most severe interactions with psychotropics can result in profound sedation, central nervous system toxicity, increased risk of severe side effects, and a high heart rate that can lead to a heart attack.10
Overdose and Death: It is possible to overdose on psychotropic drugs. Not only can someone take more than prescribed, but the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) also warns of the dangers of fentanyl-laced drugs deceptively marked as legitimate prescription pills. Just a tiny amount of this lethal opioid can kill, and the psychotropics Xanax and Adderall are among the drugs commonly counterfeited.11
Reducing the Risks of Psychotropic Drugs
The primary way to minimize the risks associated with psychotropic drug use is to work closely with a medical professional and take the medication only as prescribed. Your doctor will be able to work with you to ensure that the drugs you are prescribed are as effective as possible while limiting the risk of side effects and withdrawal symptoms.
For some people, finding the right combination and dosage of psychotropic drugs can take time. But once you do, the effect on your condition and your life can be dramatic. Combined with other forms of mental health treatment, psychotropics can help you on your journey toward mental health recovery.

Recovery Unplugged truly felt like my home away from home. I went through both residential and PHP, and I can honestly say I’d highly recommend this program over any other in Tennessee. From day one, I felt so welcomed by the techs and the alumni community—it made a world of difference in my recovery. The beds were super comfortable, the food was amazing, and best of all, I was allowed to bring my pup, which made the whole experience so much easier and more comforting. I’ll always be grateful for the love and support I found here.

I have been to several treatment facilities and this one is by far the best one i have been to. Not only is the facility clean and well kept, the faculty that works there have amazing hearts. This is the only treatment facility that i have been to where the staff actually genuinely care for you and your recovery/well being. They have a unique treatment plan that works. Unlike many places I have been to instead of boring you to death, they actually make recovery fun, which in my experience has a lot to do with being able to succeed in recovery. I have recommended multiple friends and family members to go here when they are struggling with addiction and will continue to recommend Steps to Recovery to anyone who asks how i got clean and remained clean. I owe my life and my recovery to these people and they will always have a special place in my heart.

I recently “graduated” from STR. I was in programming between May to September, originally PHP and then in the IOP mental health program. While in PHP I was in housing as well. There are family sessions offered too, but I did not utilize that service while at STR.
While the house I was at was not perfect, administration tried their best to accommodate every concern clients had with the house. It was overall a clean and safe environment to live in. If there are any concerns advocate for yourself and ask a tech to call a house meeting if it is an interpersonal issue within the house. If you have a different issue communicate that to the director and it will most likely be handled promptly.
The PHP (partial hospitalization program) for mental health is six days a week, 9am-1:30 Monday-Friday and 9am-12pm Saturdays. The program changes as needs change. When I first began there process groups were three hours long, but when I left they were two hours long with an additional hour of psych ed. While the day may seem long, everyone gets a break between noon and 12:30. Afternoon there are different types of therapy everyday like art therapy, DBT, CBT.
IOP (intensive outpatient program) is only 9am-12pm three days a week, usually Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. The director is accommodating though so if for any reason you need to not go on a Monday, you could always go on a Saturday if you advocate for yourself.
You’ll have one individual session a week with one of the clinicians. I had Ashley and she is phenomenal. While the staff really do care about the clients, Ashley definitely cares about clients and it shows in her work.
You’ll also have a session with either Dr. Newman or Monique once a week to go over medications they are both amazing!
STR is shaped not just by the staff, but clientele too. I have reinforced and grew my support system while being at STR. And while I was in the mental health program, I have substance use disorder as well, I’d recommend Steps to recovery struggling with their mental health or substance use. It may take a couple of weeks to really settle into the program, but continue to do the work since you are worth it and advocate for yourself if something isn’t working for you.
STR is also a great facility if you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community. The staff here are not just accepting, but affirming. There is an optional LGBTQ+ group once a week with Christian, which was my favorite part of the week.

My wife, Nancy and I could not be happier with the people and program at ERS. There’s no doubt in my mind that the welfare and success of each client is at the forefront of everything they do. Our 21 year old grandson entered the Watsonville center lost ,angry ,hurt with no direction relying on drugs and alcohol to ease his pain. ERS provided him with the tools and support he needed to lift himself out of this destructive path and give hope to a new beginning living in sobriety. He has grown so much over the past few months and takes with him so many life skills both new and rediscovered. I see confidence again and a self love that had been buried for a long time.
The program is progress based and not rushed giving him time to truly work on his issues that are unique to him and his sobriety. The staff there truly care and are able to understand and mentor since many have been through the program themselves…they get it.
The communication with the Family Support staff was very, very good. Caitlin was so helpful and informative and able to ease our anxieties along the way. We were kept informed regularly of his progress and his struggles and hear how we might best support him.
As our grandson had pending legal problems as many newly in recovery do and ERS was even able to support this aspect of recovery by providing transportation to his court ordered appearances, helping him with his goal to be a responsible adult….many thanks to Arthur for all his support in this area. We are so very grateful and highly recommend Elevate Recovery Services !

When I decided to go into detox , I was ashamed and embarrassed for having gotten to the point of needing it, and intimidated by getting it. The minute I arrived at Boca Recovery Center, all of that went away. The entire staff, from Case Workers to Doctors, Nurses, Coordinators, Therapists, – everyone– was so professional, kind, friendly, caring , informative, supportive , and helpful. I was so comfortable and my condition improved everyday. It was one of my best decisions to go there and be guided by them to better health. I haven’t felt this strong and healthy in 5 years. I thank the people at Boca Recovery Center with all of my heart. Love and mercy to everyone.

Highly recommend. For addiction and mental health. My journey through soberlife has been such a blessing. The staff are very caring, intuitive, relatable & intelligent. I learned so much & really think the curriculum is top tier. They take your recovery seriously, motivating you to do the same. Core memories made here, so sad to leave but thankful for the experience of a lifetime.I never imagined being a week sober, now I am almost 6 months. Make the choice to heal, you deserve it.

Sober life is the absolute BEST place to be if you are struggling. I went in 2020 and didn’t complete, and they welcomed me back with open arms march of this year and I went through completion. I have had the opportunity to stay in their network by getting care at SD wellness for psychiatry. Over this holiday week I had forgotten about my refill of a medication I need, I got in contact with Dan from alumni since I forgot what their hours were for thanksgiving and Black Friday, and by today (saturday) I have my refill! I got a personal call from Dr Amaro and got squared away. I’ve never found a medical group that listens, cares, and has better communication than here. I am so happy with this process and will always come back if I need it! Highly recommend!

This is Maxwell Kremin a former and proud patient. I came to Jaywalker after a very bad experience at another treatment facility. Over there, there was a clear focus on money over treatment. This is the exact opposite of Jaywalker. Jaywalker would not spare a dime if it meant that we would have a better experience during recovery. The staff are incredible and the other patients I met were some of the most amazing guys I’ve met in my entire life. If you or someone you care about is dealing with addiction this is hands-down the only place in America to send them if you truly care about them. I extend my sincerest appreciation to all still working at Jaywalker.

So 4 outta five is high for me. This place is far from perfect. But if you think there’s a perfect treatment center out there, it’s time to snap back. Let’s be honest, for those of us looking for places like this online, our lives are far from perfect. Typically we’re looking for excuses why not to go rather than reasons to go. I never read the reviews because someone always has an ax to grind. Instead of grinding axes, I’ll just say this time was different. 6th trip in 2&1/2 yrs to treatment. Places I’d rate higher. But it was Windward Way where I was able to find the missing pieces of my puzzle and my hidden secrets that were keeping me sick. You only get out of treatment what you put in. I entered detox with the gift of desperation. It wasn’t amenities and luxuries that made the difference. It was a frontline staff that lives and breathes recovery and genuinely cares about the clients. All the BHTs, group facilitators, my therapist, case worker, & med staff pour their souls into this work. Their love and concern overrides any complaints I could muster. I’m the hardest of cases. The breath in my lungs is a legion of miracles. But the fact that I’m happy joyous and free today is a testament to the effort, care, and concern of people like Mark, Tony, Ottis, Jerald, Sina, Andrew, Saul, Kenny, Andria, Adam, Kelly, Nick, Shaina, Didi, Casa, Thomas, Sarah, Emily, Bryce, John AKA Pouter, Josh, Matt (still got hair envy bro), Gauge, Armand, of course Javon, PA Shapiro (I hope that’s right because his management of my PAWS was spot on) and a few other angels whose names allude me at the moment.
Go meet them. It just might save your life, family, job, freedom, and/or many other things. Give yourself a break. Check your pride at the door, stop making excuses and let these people show you a better way live. Besides, there are worse places to get clean and sober than Orange County, SoCal!!!
What y’all thought I wouldn’t have good stuff to say?! I’m SOBER not stupid. Now anyways. Thanks Windward Way!!!

Windmill Wellness Ranch saved me in more ways than one. All members of the staff care and are genuine in helping people recover. They teach and give you tools in whatever it is that is troubling you and educate those individuals on how to move forward.

I am a born pessimist, so I spent a great deal of time looking into this place. First, I found nothing negative whatsoever, Secondly, I spent 60 days here and cried leaving. This place and ALL of it’s staff saved my life. I can remember spending countless times in the nurses station, at the wellness advocates desk, and even in the Blanco hall, talking to the different staff about my days, my problems, my achievements, etc. And EVERY SINGLE PERSON TOOK THE TIME TO LISTEN AND HELP OR CHEER ME ON!! There’s not a staff member in this place that doesn’t care about each person. The therapy sessions are incredible and I can’t thank them enough for showing me I wasn’t hopeless and giving me all the tools I need to have a beautiful, healthy and sober life. I am 45 years old, and I never thought this was possible.

Stop researching treatment centers because this one is hands down the best!! I’ve been to several treatment centers and The Ridge is in a league of their own- for all the good reasons! Yes, it is a beautiful home like atmosphere with a lot of luxuries and outstanding food but the main reason I found The Ridge so helpful to me was the loving and supportive staff and amazing program. And the support doesn’t stop when you leave! I enrolled in IOP and am plugged into the many alumni events they host. My recovery community is filled today with Ridge Alum and I owe my recovery to the tools I learned at The Ridge and all the continue support I get from them.

The Ridge is an incredible place to go to for treatment. They keep you plenty busy with group therapy sessions as well as 1 on 1 sessions with a councilor, and there are lots of things to do during recreation time. I’m grateful I was able to find a treatment center with staff that truly care about me and work to foster a friendly environment among all patients. If you’re looking for help I can think of no better place to go to than the Ridge for residential treatment.

Plant City, FL 33563
| WhiteSands Alcohol & Drug Rehab in Plant City, Florida, is an addiction treatment facility for adults. The organization has been in operation since 2014. They offer a variety of programs including their residential program and their medication assisted treatment program. They have a 10 acre campus with private rooms and an athletic complex. WhiteS | Treatments Programs Payment Options | Hi, my name is Jenna, and I am a trash Panda alcoholic. I am not ashamed that I needed help. The quality of the staff is preeminent, and the curriculum is outstanding. I learned the names of almost all the BHTs and the culinary staff because everyone had a hand in my recovery process. This treatment center has a heart for YOUR recovery. It is dual diagnosis, so I recommend that if you have struggles with mental health, addiction, or adulting is just very difficult, and you need time to rediscover who you are, this is the place to be. They make sure you feel physically and emotionally safe while you peel back layers of trauma and begin the process of unbecoming all your limiting beliefs. For far too long, we have listened to that voice of doubt in our heads that is not us. They help you focus a lens on yourself to truly understand who you are and maybe discover your purpose.
You have to do the work and want it, but all the tools are at your fingertips. The facility itself could use a little updating, but I wasn’t there for a vacation. Keep in mind everyone is on their journey, and do not let that distract you from yours. If you are open to it, you can get a handle on your trauma, set goals, and become physically and mentally more steadfast and fit. The food is pretty good with plenty of healthy options and snacks. Shout out to Cameron and Nicole in culinary, I loved seeing your happy faces during mealtime. If you would like a smoothie or a coffee, Mama Missy and Loretta have got you. Speaking of treating your body well, Nicole and Ann Marie will get you spiritually fit and in tune with your body’s ability through amazing and encouraging yoga. If you can discipline your time and make the most of it, going to the gym for boxing is a life changer. Coach Ray and Ernest will push you to respect yourself and realize you are truly a gift from above. Nursing staff is also epic, Tim and Denise are just medical angels!
As for therapists, I named the ones I learned the most

Shoutout to my case manager AMANDA for helping me every step of the way throughout my journey! It is very important to have an aftercare plan. I decided to move back to NY and she helped provide me an IOP regarding my aftercare.
HUGE thanks to ALL the techs that made my stay truly amazing. Shoutout to KEITH, Shannon, Rose, T, Ant, Joey, Telyssa, & all the other techs that made my stay worthwhile. I truly couldn’t have done this without them.

There are very few residential programs in Texas as good as Laha for individuals struggling with addiction. They have a beautiful campus that gives these nostalgic summer camp vibes that brings you back to a happier time. The perfect environment to reconnect with that inner child that needs some healing. The staff is knowledgeable and really compassionate. They go above and beyond for the clients they work with. I would happily recommend or refer any friend, family member, collogue or client here for treatment.
