Video Summary
Atypical antipsychotics are a newer class of medications used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Unlike the older typical antipsychotics, atypical antipsychotics are not as likely to cause movement disorders like tardive dyskinesia. However, atypical antipsychotics can sometimes cause other side effects, such as weight gain, high blood sugar, and heart problems such as myocarditis.
