While Hydroxyzine (Vistaril) is an antihistamine, its unique properties, such as its ability to calm the central nervous system, can make it useful for certain mental health purposes.
It helps regulate mood by blocking specific receptors and affecting neurotransmitters like serotonin. This action can reduce nervous system activity, often leading to a calming effect and relief from anxiety symptoms.
