Mood and psychotic disorders are a group of illnesses that affect behavior and cognition. Schizophrenia is characterized by positive symptoms, such as delusions and hallucinations, as well as negative symptoms. Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a mood disorder that affects the patient's emotions, energy, and motivation. Brexpiprazole works as a partial agonist at serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine1A and dopamine D2 receptors and an antagonist at serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine2A. Schizophrenia and MDD have a wide range of risk factors, both biological and environmental. Third generation antipsychotics, which include brexpiprazole, are the latest group of drugs to reach the market, demonstrating efficacy and tolerability. Patients with acute schizophrenia have responded well to brexpiprazole. In this regard, in patients who have MDD plus anxiety symptoms, brexpiprazole can be effective as an adjunctive therapy and can reduce anxiety symptoms. In summary, brexpiprazole has proved to be an effective alternative to typical or first and second-generation atypical antipsychotics.
