In reply to Anti-psychotics not mood stabilizers?, posted by SheilaC on August 31, 2010, at 16:24:01
Not for nothing are anti-psychotics called major tranquilizers. If your symptoms include anxiety and irritability, it makes sense that a medication with tranquilizing properties is helpful to you.
I am not sure that it's as simple as certain drugs fixing certain problems as an antibiotic works on a bacteria but not a virus. It is more that drugs have certain effects, and sometimes those effects are helpful for certain problems.
Or at least that's the theory I subscribe to. :)
