The majority of people do not admit that they are ill and are unwilling to seek treatment.  Family members often believe that taking antipsychotics will make the patient stupid, damage liver and kidney functions, become addicted to long-term medication, and affect growth and development. A few drugs may cause reversible damage to liver and kidney function in individual patients, but most of them will restore liver function after stopping or adding liver-protective drugs.  These drugs are generally not addictive and have not been reported to affect growth and development. Some patients taking these drugs may experience dull eyes, abnormal expressions, and slow activity, but most patients will return to normal after reducing, stopping, or changing their medication. Some patients may experience memory impairment while taking the drug, which may be related to the drug and the condition.
