Dear lybrate user, 'antipsychotic' is an umbrella term which covers a large number of symptoms that are common in many psychiatric problems. Hence, doctors prescribe these drugs. Just like salt can be used for many food items, a particular medicine can be used to treat many medical conditions. Stick to your doctor's prescription without any hesitation.
