Antipsychotics : There is an association between the use of antipsychotics and development of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Also there are reports of antipsychotics causing early death on persons suffering of dementia. The cautious prescription of these medications and the prevention of cardiac disease will affect the outcome in anyone receiving antipsychotics. Adhere to a diet, exercise, don't smoke.
