From my own personal observations, I am certain these drugs do a lot of damage.
I've managed to get my girlfriend stabilized with supplements and some safe drugs, and got her into a smaller system to manage her court-ordered treatment. Her new court-ordered psychiatric nurse initially wanted to keep her on the antipsychotic injection, but there was a bureaucratic snafu (pre-authorization) and the injection wore off. After the drugs had lapsed for a month, the psychiatric nurse decided that it wasn't actually necessary.
Robert Whitaker, author of Anatomy of an Epidemic, [1] has looked into the practices of the mental health industry, and makes the case that the standard treatments make people's mental health worse.
