Définition

  • Psychoactive drugs are ingested chemicals that cross the blood-brain barrier and produce a change in brain neurotransmitter function resulting in altered mood or behavior. These compounds can be used therapeutically, as is the case for antipsychotic, antiseizure, and antidepressant medications. [Source: Encyclopedia of Lifestyle Medicine & Health; Psychoactive Drugs]
