I would suggest that the drugs are more neurotoxic.
People have used the argument that depression is more toxic than antidepressants, but data suggests that no such protective effect on antidepressants exist. (tianeptine is an exception.)
We know from animal studies that the drugs are neurotoxic, we also know that AP's do not fix or halt the underlying disorder. So you are taking a damaging drug that does not necessarily halt the underlying disease progression.
The data on conventionals is fairly conclusive to indiacate brain dammage. I don't think the typicals have been around long enough to suggest that they halt the disease.
