A member asked:
Could strong antipsychotics cause neurons damage and result in demyelinating disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antipsychotics: Demyelinating disease is generally autoimmune in nature -- different from the effects of antipsychotic medications. In fact some research indicates that quetiapine may protect against demyelination. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3adoi%2f10.1371%2fjournal.pone.0042746 nevertheless, long-term use of some antipsychotic agents can affect neuronal function -- just differently.
