I think its pathetic the way antipsychotics are fed to our seniors to shut them up. Especially when many of their complaints are valid, and are directly due to understaff/neglect.
I worked in a Retirement home here in canada, and it sickened me the way AP's were administered.
Dopaminergic neurons are greatly lost in later life, which impedes the ability to experience pleasure. I can only imagine what blocking what precious few they have left would do.
Perhaps they should administer morhpine as a serenic.
