> Lately there is so much discussion about the drug companies. They make ADs, anti-manics, seizure meds, etc. Yet almost every med is tried for every type of mental illness. For example, many seizure meds are used for BP, ADs are used for OCD, antipsychotics are used for depression, rage, and BP. It seems to be mix and match. Any comments?

Hi Terrics,I think that using seizure meds for BP is valid & SSRI's & Clomipramine are winners for OCD, OTOH, the use of AP's for anything but the treatment of psychotic symptoms is bad & just plain money grabbing by the pharmaceutical companies.
Cheers,
