Antipsychotics are often referred to as tranquilizers or neuroleptics because they primarily work by dampening excessive neural activity in the brain, leading to a calming effect on patients. The term "neuroleptic" comes from their ability to "seize" or control certain neural functions, particularly in managing symptoms of psychosis, such as hallucinations and delusions. While they are effective in treating serious mental disorders, the label "tranquilizer" reflects their sedative effects, which can help alleviate agitation and anxiety.
