>Anti-psychotic medication are the best selling drugs in America
I would bet money this is not true. There's absolutely no way more antipsychotics are sold than antidepressants.

In a nutshell, psychotic or schizophrenic symptoms are associated with excessive dopamine neurotransmission in the brain (particularly in the mesolimbic region). Anti-psychotics block dopamine receptors to prevent their effects and control psychotic symptoms. But I don't really believe in this stuff anyway, it's all jewish trickery to sell "medicines"

Anti-Psychotics had no effect on me whatsoever besides giving me a brief episode of Tardive Dyskinesia after months of taking them. Some individuals may see a major or mild benefit from them, however, I was not one of them.

TD is a fucking nightmare to deal with. Were you given anything else after that or did they give up treatment entirely?

Treatment is still ongoing, but I'm only on Anti-Depressants now. I think they're still debating on what my diagnosis is though.
