Which type of medication can cause psychotic symptoms?

  1. Antibiotics

  2. Antivirals

  3. Anticholinergics

  4. Antifungals

The correct answer is: Anticholinergics

This type of medication can cause psychotic symptoms because anticholinergics are known to block the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which can disrupt normal brain function and potentially lead to psychotic symptoms. Antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals do not have this same mechanism of action and are unlikely to cause psychotic symptoms.
