Antipsychotic drugs may do significantly more harm to Parkinson's disease patients

At least half of Parkinson’s disease patients experience psychosis at some point during the course of their illness, and physicians commonly prescribe antipsychotic drugs, such as quetiapine, to treat the condition.
