Not a chemical imbalance in the brain

http://www.peteearley.com/2015/01/30/mental-illnesses-caused-chemical-imbalances/

“Chemical imbalance is a term with imprecise meaning…Saying that a psychiatric disorder is caused by a chemical imbalance, although an imperfect explanation, sometimes makes psychiatric disorders more palatable to patients and less stigmatizing. The term gives some credence to the practice of treating these disorders with medication. But there is no psychiatric disorder for which we know for certain which chemicals are  “imbalanced” if any.

Overcoming Insomnia Harvard

Sleeping pills loose effectiveness called Tachyphylaxis 

“In the past, sedative antipsychotics were used for insomnia, but concerns over their cardiac safety prevents their use. Atypical antipsychotics, particularly olanzapine and quetiapine, are occasionally used to improve sleep but data on efficacy are inconclusive.”  https://patient.info/doctor/insomnia

Atypical Antipychotics

What is the difference between atypical anti-psychotics and regular anti-psychotics?

Typical antipsychotics are sometimes called neurloeptics because it means “seize the neuron”(6) They tend to control symptoms such as mania, delusions and hallucinations, also called “positive symptoms”. (Do remember, that schizophrenia and bipolar work similarly in the brain) Side effects are similar, but worse, and can cause tardive dyskenesia (7), sometimes they are paired with medications like Cogentin to stop this.

In addition first-generation antipsychotics would be considered typical antipsychotics.

This blog talks more about the differences.
