In reply to How do you know if you need an anti-psychotic?, posted by tina on May 30, 2001, at 10:07:32
Teeny - Usually docs will go by excessive ruminations on a particular topic (ie thought cycling) or by mood incongruent emotions (ie emotional responses that out of line with the trigger - eg. crying at one of my jokes - well, maybe that's a bad example). Antipsychotics are also used for bizarre thought patterns (eg. delusions of grandeur, T.V. sending personal messages, CIA monitoring thoughts, etc).
Hope this is of some help, sweetie. - Cam
