Anti-derpessants are not anti-psychotics

LOL. Thanks for the tip, but I was simply trying to amplify a statement about psychiatric treatment as torture.

Actually, given the spate of evidence emerging about SSRI-induced motor problems like tardive dyskinesia, there may not actually be a lot of difference in the side effect profile of antipsychotics and "Anti-derpessants."

All psych drugs have their side-effects, and often dyskinesia is a trade-off for sanity. Furthermore, dyskinesia with SSRI is very rare and dose and drug dependant. In other words, one SSRI might cause a problem at any specific does and the side-effects can be corrected by either changing the drug or changing the dose.

There are NO similarities between antipsychotics and SSRI's, but I wouldn't expect a lay person who has not studied this to understand that.
