How do antipsychotic drugs have their effect?

from the blog post: “The authors conclude that “The induction of doubt and the dampening of emotion may be one reason why antipsychotics reduce positive symptoms” and note that their findings of reported antipsychotic effects including cognitive and emotional numbing, and social withdrawal are “disquieting”.” —-  (Monica’s comments) anyone who has been on these drugs can attest to this reality. But it wasn’t until I was off them that I felt alive again. I truly felt like I had been stripped of my humanity for many years…and only once I came off them could I fully understand what had happened to me.
