It's all in your head, you're trepidation of antipsychotics is entirely physiological. From a chemical point of view there is nothing different between antipsychotic and mood stabilizer classes of drugs, or any other psychiatric class of drug. Drug classes are simply a way to group compounds that have similar properties. The fact is these these drugs often overlap, for instance, lamotrigine helps with psychosis and latuda helps with moods. It's almost arbitrary.
Is it just that you don't want to be viewed as someone with a serious mental illness? Your avoidance of an entire class of drugs due to this psychological conditioning could be excluding you from highly effective treatments. Give it a fair trial before you condemn it.
