Psychopharmacology

Psychopharmacology is the scientific study of how drugs influence mood, cognition, sensation, and behavior. It focuses on understanding the chemical interactions between psychoactive substances and the brain. This field is distinct from neuro psycho pharmacology, which specifically explores how drug-induced changes at the cellular level within the nervous system impact consciousness and behavior.

Psychopharmacological research investigates a wide range of psychoactive compounds, emphasizing how these substances bind to specific target receptors within the nervous system to produce measurable physiological or psychological effects. The interaction between a drug and its receptor is known as the drug action, while the resulting changes in mental or bodily function are referred to as the drug effect.

This discipline is foundational to the development of medications for psychiatric disorders, contributing to modern treatments for conditions such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.
