Which type of medications typically do not improve breathing but may aid other functions?

Antipsychotics are primarily used to manage psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and they work by altering the effects of neurotransmitters in the brain. While they can have various side effects, including some that may impact respiratory function indirectly, they are not designed to improve breathing. Instead, their main purpose is to help with mood stabilization and reducing symptoms of mental health conditions.

The other types of medications listed, such as Parkinsonism drugs, diuretics, and laxatives, have more specific functions that could influence other bodily functions. For example, Parkinsonism drugs primarily help manage symptoms of Parkinson's disease, diuretics assist in removing excess fluid and can affect blood pressure, and laxatives are designed to relieve constipation. None of these are aimed directly at improving respiratory function as part of their primary action.
