Yeah there are some studies which suggest that there may be epigenetic changes....ie levels of various proteins change in your brain. There is also the thought that untreated psychosis itself causes damage which may make recovery more difficult. So short term AP use is clearly beneficial but it's the long term use that is very much in question.
