“…Imagine being a troubled adolescent who is offered antipsychotics, and then having to watch your peers succeed at work and in relationships, while you becoming obese and unable to function sexually. Recent data suggests that antipsychotic use leads to reduced mortality (Weinmann & Aderhold, 2010) and can reduce the volume of the brain, in the long term causing some of the abnormalities usually attributed to schizophrenia (Moncrieff & Leo, 2010). Given the youth of the people most likely to receive the diagnosis, and given that the effects of these drugs on the developing brain is not properly understood, unnecessary exposure to this kind of treatment seems particularly unwarranted and, in our view, unethical.…”

“…Señalaron la relación entre su uso y neurodegeneración. Y varios estudios que consultaron relacionan la mortalidad con la dosis y quizás con el uso combinado de psicofármacos (105).…”

“…Debido al daño neurológico y el impacto en la mortalidad del uso de antipsicóticos hay quienes llaman a profundizar en el estudio de su impacto en la salud. Y hay una recomendación a modificar las pautas de prescripción, utilizando los antipsicóticos en casos estrictamente necesarios, en dosis bajas y en monoterapia, e implementando terapias psicosociales (63,102,105), y la revisión de su uso como terapia de mantenimiento (42,96,(106)(107).…”

“…La ele vada incidencia de obesidad, diabetes, hipertensión arterial y otros efectos ha lle vado a describir el "síndrome metabólico" producido por neurolépticos "atípicos" con una gran morbi mortalidad asociada 59 . Apa recen guías para su manejo, prevención (incluso con fármacos) y tratamiento, pero se cuestiona poco la inevitabilidad de seme jante iatrogenia, con alternativas farmacoló gicas más baratas, a bajas dosis o con abor dajes sin fármacos que están mostrando su eficacia 60,61 . La presencia de estos graves efectos secundarios con neurolépticos de segunda generación y el descubrimiento de que no aportan mayor eficacia que los de primera (algunos menos) ha llevado a replantearse la actual indicación de estos como fármacos de primera línea frente a los antiguos 62 .…”
