I’m sorry, but what I said and what you’re talking about are two COMPLETELY different things.

SSRIs are NOT anti-psychotic medications. No qualified psychiatrist gives them to a patient with psychotic behavior and expects it to deal with their symptoms.

SSRIs are paroxetine,Escitalopram, and citalopram for example. That’s for DEPRESSION and ANXIETY.

Anti-psychotics are a COMPLETELY different class of drug that has NOTHING in common with SSRIs, except they are both pills.

If you don’t believe me, try comparing any SSRI to Clozapine.

You fail to differentiate between cases of neurotic behavior (anxiety and depressive disorders) and psychotic (schizophrenics or bi-polar disorder for example), which is doing little to support your dismissal of leaving treatment to trained professionals such as my sister, who has had plenty of experience with SSRIs and knows better than to give them out like Halloween candy.

SSRIs are NOT anti-psychotic medications. I am saying that benzodiazepines CAUSE psychotic episodes.
