Medications can play a role in treating mental disorders and conditions and are often used in combination with other treatment approaches such as psychotherapies and brain stimulation therapies. Medications can affect people in different ways, and it may take several tries to find the medication that is most effective with the fewest side effects. It’s important for people to work with a health care provider or mental health professional to develop a treatment plan that meets their needs and medical situation.
Information about medications is updated frequently. Check the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Medication Guides webpage for the latest warnings, patient medication guides, and newly approved medications. The MedlinePlus Drugs, Herbs and Supplements website also provides information on medications, including side effects and FDA warnings.
This page provides basic information about mental health medications, but it is not a complete source for all medications available and should not be used as a guide for making medical decisions.
