It's good to listen to a doctor talk about his experiences with atypical antipsychotics. These drugs seem to take care of primary symptoms of schizophrenia like voices and paranoia, but also target negative symptoms like poor grooming, and lack of motivation. They provide new hope to patients with different ways of regulating dopamine and seratonin.
Really really great audio clip that mentions types of medication, rationale for prescribing them, mechanism of action, side effects, and benefits. Amazing resource. A great find!!
