Why does my psychiatrist keep giving antipsychotics to treat my depression? are there any other drugs that would help?

Using antipschotics: After years of practice and patients I have learned medication failure of psychiatric symptoms is often the results of 4 reasons. 1 wrong diagnosis 2. Co existing drug or alcohol abuse .3 existing undiagnosed medical condition such as thyroid disease or dysautonomia 4. Genetic mismatching to medication treatments. New technologies and rapid assays in genetics can often provide acurate treatment

Important: Ask!: Sometimes there are good reasons for this; sometimes not. But it's always reasonable and always a good idea to ask and to feel free to ask your psychiatrist good questions such as this one! he or she should be able to offer you a clear rationale.
