Neuropsychopharmacology

Neuropsychopharmacology is the study of how certain medications, called drugs, affect the brain. The drugs can affect how the brain works, how people think and feel, and how the body moves. Drugs can also help people who have certain mental health conditions, like depression or anxiety. It is important to understand the brain and how it works so that scientists can create drugs that can help people without harming them.
