The Complete Encyclopedia of Self-Help Techniques/Anti-Psychotics

Anti-psychotic medication (known collo. as "Anti-Psychotic(s)" ) are certain families of psychiatric medications (almost always non-narcotic) that are useful in relieving the painful, distressing symptoms of mental conditions often referred to as: a psychotic break, a psychotic episode, or often just simply, psychosis. Humankind has recorded evidence through writings, archaelogical digs, of what would now be considered "psychotic behavior", since the dawn of recorded history and tools. Most symptoms of what we know today as psychosis were, until the mid-late 19th century CE, usually interpreted by proto-society as either evidence of some kind of spiritual illness or usually demon-possessed - even as it is clear that the vast majority of non-chronic cases are episodic in nature. The unfortunate individuals unable to successfully evade such labels were often outcast from society, made to conform to strict religious teachings or outright killed altogether. In its intellectual pause and Reconstructive peace that categorically defined the tense, last-few decades of the 19th Century as overly Puritan; and, as the First Industrial Age's sweeping, climatic throes of growth and societal change waned slowly enough that it became possible to quantify and organize advancements and what was to be considered newfound historical trend - the form of Western psychiatry and dialectics that is infamous today for it's general lack of efficacy and perverse incentive structure began to slowly take shape. In short, Anti-Psychotics are a certain, special type of psychiatric medication (usually found to end with the suffix -zine ), that are commonly prescribed to patients experiencing short to long-term psychosis or who have reported psychotic symptoms in the recent past.
