Etymology
The word antipsychotic comes from anti- meaning 'against' and psyche, the same root as psychology, meaning 'mind'. So an antipsychotic is a medicine that works 'against' sickness of the mind, helping to reduce false beliefs and seeing or hearing things that are not real and often calming the person.
