THE BALANCE / RESOURCES
Clear information about medicines used in mental health and addiction care. Explore their purpose, benefits, risks and the questions worth discussing with your prescriber.
Education, not a prescription service. The right medicine depends on your assessment, formulation and country.

Search by generic name, brand, or topic, or browse A–Z. Medication overviews, side effects, interactions, withdrawal, and self-assessments are listed together.
Medication information and related topics
Recognize tardive dyskinesia, understand movement assessment, medication-review tradeoffs and selected VMAT2 treatments without assuming a guaranteed cure.
Medication information and related topics
