What is the difference between a competitive antagonist and an inverse agonist?

A competitive antagonist binds to the same receptors as an agonist but has little or no capability of activating the receptors, thus, reducing the potential activity of the agonist. An inverse agonist is a drug that binds to the receptor, but stimulates intrinsic activity opposite of neurotransmitter.
