Antipsychotics shrink the brain

[Steppenwolf]

i'm surprised they use antipsychotis still. it's useless other than inducing drowsiness, which is its mainly effect, and can be replaced by other less nocive existing meds. i don't think they do know if it shrinks the brain, this comes from an experiment done on primates, in humans i guess it could be related to accelerated aging process and altered metabolism

There are studies on humans but also on primates and rats

yes, but the alarming ones were the reported on primates. the shrinkage reported in humans isn't worrisome, and confounders such as metabolism can be reverted. what i'd be worried, is the long-term alterations on substantia nigra, and so parkisonism
