People who suffer from mood disorders such as, bipolar disorder, need to read an article we just posted in our website's News section. If your doctor has prescribed "typical" or "atypical" antipsychotic drugs to treat the symptoms of your mood disorder (haloperidol (an older class of drug, aka "typical"), olanzapine, risperidone, or quetiapine (all newer drugs, aka "atypical")), you should be aware of the serious, and in some cases, deadly risks these drugs carry.
Doctors prescribe these newer medications, originally developed to treat schizophrenia, for a wide variety of problems -- from conduct disorder in kids to aggressive behavior in Alzheimer's patients. In fact, they've become so popular that three of the ones mentioned above are among the 10 top-selling drugs worldwide, with $14.5 billion in sales in 2007.
If you're currently taking any antipsychotic drug you would want to know if you were at risk right? I want to learn more, please take me to your article.
