English term or phrase: psychotropic
Psychotropic drug: Any drug capable of affecting the mind, emotions, and behavior. Some legal drugs such as lithium for depression are psychotropic. Many illicit drugs such as cocaine are also psychotropic. Also called a psychodynamic drug.

From the Greek psycho-, the mind + trop, a turning = (capable of) turning the mind.

Explanation:
Psychotropicdrugs are drugs that affect a person's mental state.

Psychotropic drugs, sometimes also called psychoactive, affect the central nervous system, and can cause a variety of changes in behavior or perception. Many think psychotropic drugs are only of the illegal variety, like the psychedelic drugs frequently used in the late 1960s, such as acid, LSD, angel dust, and marijuana. However, even something as relatively benign as caffeine is considered one of many psychotropic drugs.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  amarpaul: Suggest you use a Unicode font like Mangal, else your posts will be unreadable. Also "psychotropic" includes both licit and illicit drugs, so "नियंत्रित" doesn't really fit as it emphasizes only the positive aspect.
