What is the rationale behind prescribing antipsychotics for Depression, Panic, Anxiety and OCD?
There is a growing trend for antidepressant + antipsychotic combos. One does regularly read that patients get prescribed an SSRI and in addition they get some atypical antipsychotic. What is the goal of prescribing an antipsychotic to a person with Depression, Panic, Anxiety or OCD? Shouldn't it be last resort?
It's just that I am unsure about the anti-dopamine effects. It seems to me that one does not want that when having run-of-the-mill-depression.
