Understanding Risperidone: Your Partner in Mental Wellness
Risperidone is a trusted atypical antipsychotic medication that has been helping Filipinos manage schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (mania), and irritability associated with autism for decades. As an essential medicine listed in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition, you can be confident this is a government-approved, evidence-based treatment for mental health conditions. It works by balancing dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain, helping reduce hallucinations, delusions, and mood swings while improving concentration and daily functioning.
How Risperidone Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your brain is like a busy radio with multiple stations playing at once—that's what happens with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Risperidone acts like a skilled sound engineer, gently adjusting the volume on overactive brain chemicals (dopamine and serotonin) to help you tune into one clear station. This means:
- Reduced hallucinations and delusions (hearing or seeing things that aren't there)
- More stable moods and fewer extreme highs or lows
- Better ability to think clearly and focus on daily tasks
- Calmer behavior for those with autism-related irritability
