Yeah...shrinks view major tranquilizers as some sort of anti-aggression panacea. Truth is, when you factor in akathisia and agitation and other drug-induced problems...not so great. Even on psych wards, akathisia can lead to violent outbursts and suicidal behavior. Chemical restraints don't always work :-(I'm concerned with the growing use of the atypicals for...everything, really.
