I don't know the answer to this. I do remember reading that the old generation anti-psychotics were initially hailed as 'chemical lobotomies'. The idea was that they gave a reversible lobotomy effect without the surgery.
But then the target audience widened considerably and the lobotomising effect (for which they were initially hailed) became viewed as 'unwanted'. Also... Out of patient... Also... It became less obvious that they weren't doing long term damage and movement problems...
So the newer generation ones were born.
