Cebalta is a medication that contains the active ingredient lurasidone, primarily used to treat schizophrenia and depressive episodes associated with Bipolar disorder. It works by modulating the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly dopamine and serotonin. Cebalta is typically prescribed as part of a broader treatment plan that may include therapy and lifestyle changes. Like all medications, it may have side effects and should be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
