Page "Antipsychotic" Paragraph 19

From a subjective perspective, antipsychotics heavily influence one's perceptions of pleasurable sensations, causing a severe reduction in feelings of desire, motivation, pensive thought, and awe.

This does not coincide with the apathy and lack of motivation experienced by the negative symptoms of schizophrenia.

Detrimental effects on short term memory, which affect the way one figures and calculates ( although this also may be purely subjective ), may also be observed on high enough dosages.

These are all the reasons why they are thought to affect " creativity ".

Also, for some individuals with schizophrenia, too much stress may cause " relapse ".
