Catapres, or clonidine, is primarily used as an antihypertensive medication to treat high blood pressure. It works by stimulating alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in the brain, which can have sedative effects. While it is not classified as a traditional psychotropic medication, it can influence mood and anxiety, and it is sometimes used off-label for conditions like ADHD and anxiety disorders. However, its primary indication is not for psychiatric treatment.
