There are way more than three categories. There are antidepressants, antipsychotics, stimulants, anxiolytics, mood stabilizers, hypnotics, medications for side effects from antipsychotics called extrapyramidal medications, and then you have lots of medications that are FDA approved for blood pressure or seizures or antibiotics or allergies, etc but are used in psychiatry all the time.
