What is Olanzapine used for?

Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic that modulates neurotransmission in several psychiatric disorders.

- Schizophrenia: reduces psychotic symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations and thought disorder. - Bipolar I disorder (manic episodes): helps control mood elevation, agitation and rapid speech. - Bipolar I disorder (maintenance): contributes to long‑term mood stabilization and relapse prevention. - Schizoaffective disorder: alleviates both psychotic and mood components of the illness. - Psychotic depression: augments antidepressant therapy by addressing residual psychotic features.
