Yeah, that's frightening. Everything I read is exactly the opposite of what my education taught me to do.

Antipsychotics are supposed to be the last resort in geriatric care due to obvious effects on patient quality of life and functionality. Not even sure they're approved by the american FDA for such uses. If they must be used, pretty much anything will be better than haloperidol.

Reminds me of lobotomies of old. "Make the patient easier to care for."
