What Are The Personal Challenges Of Long-term Schizophrenia Antipsychotics? Are you curious about the long-term effects of antipsychotic medications used in treating schizophrenia? In this informative video, we'll explain the common challenges faced by individuals on prolonged antipsychotic therapy. We’ll start by discussing the types of side effects that can develop over time, including movement disorders like tardive dyskinesia, which involve involuntary facial movements that may become permanent if not addressed early. We'll also cover other physical effects such as fatigue, sexual dysfunction, dry mouth, and metabolic changes like weight gain, high cholesterol, and increased blood sugar levels, all of which can impact overall health and quality of life.
Additionally, we'll explore hormonal effects such as increased prolactin levels, which can cause menstrual irregularities, fertility issues, and decreased bone density. Cognitive changes and potential brain volume reduction are also examined, along with heart rhythm problems and rare but serious reactions like neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Managing these side effects can be challenging, often requiring close medical supervision, medication adjustments, and ongoing support.
Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or healthcare professional, understanding these potential long-term challenges is essential for making informed treatment decisions.
