Because of covid lockdown I haven’t been visiting psychiatrist,but I have been taking antipsychotic as usual.Now the covid lockdown has ease down,I would like to know why should we go for psychiatrist to check up??I mean they only talk to you and maybe up your dose or down your dose,or just maintain your meds.Why should we visit him as long as I am taking my antipsychotic regularly

The illness happens in waves and can go from bad to worse. The medicine’s effects also wane over time so they may have to go your dosage or change it to another one when you start having suicidal thoughts.
Oh ok…I have been on this medicine and dose for 3 years.But doesn’t changing the medicine and dosage kills the stability even more as you would need to adjust?
It does sometimes. Depends if you are under stress or if your illness cycles very fast like what my psychologist said.
