Drug therapy: Antipsychotics = drugs used to reduce intensity of symptoms.
Typical antipsychotics: include chlorpromazine which can be taken as tablets,

typical antipsychotics (eg chlorpromazine) are dopamine antagonists reducing
dopamine activity by blocking dopamine receptors at the postsynaptic neuron.
This reduces positive symptoms such as hallucinations.
Antagonists are chemicals which reduce action of a neurotransmitter.
Dopamine antagonists work by blocking dopamine receptors in synapses of the
