And it’s not only a matter of negotiating side effects and choosing which ones you can live with. While these are both major factors, there are also powerful social and cultural myths about antipsychotic use that also influence Medic*tion adherence. These cultural myths are perpetuated by stigma and are easy to fall for – I fell for them myself. These common beliefs and sentiments actually produce reversed logic on why and why not to take antipsychotics. Understanding social pressures involved with antipsychotics and how to see through them helps people make better decisions on antipsychotic use. It also helps caretakers to understand these pressures from their loved one’s point of view.Back by popular demand, Sarah Merritt Ryan, MS, CPSS, is a writer, speaker, and advocate for emotional recovery from serious mental illness.
