Preferred term

psychotropic medications  

Definition(s)

  • In general, the term psychotropic medication is interchangeable with the terms psychoactive and/or psychotherapeutic medications, since all three terms are used to describe chemical elements that work principally on the central nervous system. In all cases, these medications change one's perception of time, awareness of external reality, and behavior.
