“…Antipsychotic medication (AM) is commonly used by people diagnosed with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and bipolar disorder to manage symptoms of psychosis and mania (Castle et al, 2002, Fountoulakis et al, 2012. They are also commonly prescribed to people with a range of other off-label conditions including depression, dysthymia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, other anxiety disorders, or specific symptoms like insomnia or agitation, often at lower doses or alongside other psychiatric medications, despite limited evidence to support these practices (Maher et al, 2011, Monasterio and McKean, 2011, Carton et al, 2015, Walton et al, 2008, Albert et al, 2016, Vanbronkhorst et al, 2018. Most of the existing AM research focuses exclusively on people diagnosed with psychotic disorders (Landolt et al, 2016, Wunderink et al, 2013, Jung et al, 2016, Wils et al, 2017 and little is known about whether the experiences and outcomes of this group represents the experiences of those who take AMs for other reasons.…”

“…However, few additional studies are available to guide next-step interventions. Adolescents with TRD frequently receive multiple psychotropic medications (eg, dopamine-serotonin receptor antagonists, dopamine-serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and mood stabilizers) [7][8][9], yet remission rates are low and many youth experience adverse effects [7,[10][11][12]. Although electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been studied for TRD, access for adolescents is limited [13].…”
