No, not all mood stabilizers are antipsychotic medications. Mood stabilizers, such as lithium and certain anticonvulsants (like valproate and lamotrigine), are primarily used to treat mood disorders like Bipolar disorder. Antipsychotics, on the other hand, are primarily used to manage symptoms of psychosis and can also be used to stabilize mood in some cases. While there is overlap in their use, they are distinct classes of medication with different mechanisms and indications.
