Aripiprazole is an antipsychotic medication that primarily works by modulating neurotransmitter activity in the brain, particularly targeting dopamine and serotonin receptors. It acts as a partial agonist at dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors and as an antagonist at serotonin 5-HT2A receptors. This balanced activity helps to stabilize mood and reduce symptoms of conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder by correcting neurotransmitter imbalances.
