Carbamazepine is an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing drug primarily used to treat epilepsy and Bipolar disorder. Unlike benzodiazepines, which are primarily used for anxiety, sedation, and muscle relaxation, carbamazepine works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain. While both are psychoactive medications, they belong to different drug classes and have distinct mechanisms of action and therapeutic uses.
