    Ah, but you make an exception for one of the most harmful kinds of perscription drugs that comes with severe side effects often far worse than the symptoms they’re meant to treat. It’s different because psychotic people scaaaaryyy I suppose?

      It is different because there is no alternative to reliably prevent psychosis afaik.

      Why the hell do you get offended by the idea to minimize use of psychatric drugs where possible and to continue use where necessary?

        There’s no alternative to reliably treat many other psychiatric issues. And antipsychotics are often not worth the extremely debilitating side effects.
