@dr.matthew.parker: The CATIE trial basically asked: “What happens when we stop assuming newer antipsychotics are automatically better?” The answer was… complicated. One of the most important psychiatry studies of the 2000s challenged some pretty big assumptions about antipsychotic medications, effectiveness, and side effects. And yes, this is one of those studies where the headlines are a bit misleading. #MentalHealth #psychiatry #MentalHealthAwareness #schizophrenia #medicine
No. Some people do better on Thorazine or Haldol. Everyone is different.

As a person with adhd, the best way to tell if a med if effective for me is actually if I stop taking it daily😂 Why is that you ask? Medicine works-symptoms improve, I feel better, my brain no longer tells me I need medication. I forget to keep taking it or can’t bring myself to take it because I feel no compelling reason to do so, now that I feel better. Messed up. I know
