> But what about meds used for more than one type of disorder?I agree. You are right. I believe there are no specific meds in psychiatry which match specific disorders. In essence I really believe we are throwing anything up there (the brain) and hoping it'll work. For examples- antipsychotics for panic, OCD, and even depression. But this is the way it must be, because not one psychiatric disorder in my opinion has a unequivocal biochemical correlate. i.e. I believe one person with 'OCD' and another with 'OCD' might have completely different aetiologies accounting for their 'OCD'. Do you agree Dr. Bob, or anyone else??
