Unfortunately, they can only treat the symptoms of sz, not cure it. If they ever did get to a level where they could manipulate the brain like that it sure would raise a lot of philosophical and ethical questions.

They DO numb the pain. I’m beginning to see the AP’s as something like street drugs.

Olanzapine felt more like a force field / shield around my mind than like a pain pill. It kept all the ■■■■ out of my mind that had been constantly invading and tormenting me. Unfortunately it also made my cognition decline noticeably, and that was unbearable while trying to hold down a job.

Antipsychotics were primarily designed to take care of the Positive Symptoms, but do very little for the Negative Symptoms.
