This is just a duplication of psychiatric drugs.--Aspro 03:17, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Duplication of [[psychiatric drugs]]?

message: It looks like this problem has worked itself out.  This article, psychiatric medication, is an article about the medication.   Psychopharmacology is the general study of drug-induced changes in mood, thinking, and behavior. Chupper 16:17, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: '''Psychiatric medications''' is now '''[[psychopharmacology]]'''

message: I'm moving this article from "Psychiatric medications" to "Psychiatric medication" to keep it consistent with other medication articles. Chupper 16:17, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Move

message: I've moved some content from psychopharmacology that more directly relates to this article.  The psychopharmacology article deals with "the study of", whereas this article deals with the specific physical medication. 
Further additions would be helpful as well as the addition of inline cites (which I'll also try to work on myself).  Chupper 16:17, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Additional Content

message: We at the Dutch Wikipedia have 'psychofarmacon' (Psychopharmacon) is this the same? Freestyle(NL) 12:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you're talking about the actual medication, this is the article for an interwiki.  If that word or article is for psychopharmacologoy, I recommend you go there. Chupper 17:13, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Interwiki or not?

thread_title: ®

message: Why are the types initially listed in one order, then discussed at length in another?  This seems unnecessarily confusing and easily fixable--except that the initial overview lists "Depressants" yet there is no corresponding subtopic.  (Additionally, the overview mentions hallucinogenics as a side note, yet they receive a subtopic in the middle of the other, less-controversial categories.)

thread_title:  "Types" order 

message: Psychedelics are not novel treatments as argued in User:Formerly 98 reversion comments. Only scientifically vigorous clinical study to develop them as legal medications is novel. They have a long history of clinical use (and ancient history of psychological use before clinical psychology or psychiatry even existed). Furthermore, many if not most of the drugs on this page would not even exist if it was not for LSD research. Additionally, the research so far shows them to be much more effective both in the short and long term than other drugs on this page. —a thing 00:00, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

text: I hear you about the references. I wrote the initial section rather quickly and realize it should be improved. I'll work on that when I have more time. I'm confident I can find appropriate references. Thank you for putting the notice in there rather than just removing the whole section. —a thing 08:51, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Second-Generation and Atypical Antipsychotics  

message: This is to address your recent edits that I have reversed. Please see below:
Most forms of extrapyramidal symptoms (dystonia, akathisia, pseudoparkinsonism) are reversible. Even tardive dyskinesia, which can be irreversible, usually is reversible. The term "neuroleptic" is outdated. Antidepressants are not common causes of EPS.
See above.
Antipsychotic-related decreases in brain volume is already addressed in the article. This oversimplification is harmful, and does not reflect the current state of the literature. The claim that psychiatric medications (likely referring to antipsychotics) cause "cancer in the brain," citing a page on prolactinomas, is also misleading. Antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia is not the same as prolactinoma-induced hyperprolactinemia. 
This is far too simplistic of a statement, and does not reflect the conflicting literature on the relationship between certain psychiatric medications and the risk of developing dementia. In particular, note the significant limitations of a retrospective research article. The authors themselves note, "we could not claim causality between antidepressant medication and dementia." Wikipedia should reflect medical consensus, not fringe positions.
I hope that clears up my edits. Please reach out to me, here or on my Talk page, if you have any suggestions for improving the article.―Biochemistry🙴❤ 23:19, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
