Answer 1

Answer:

Recent research found that second-generation antipsychotic meds were no more effective than the older drugs.

Explanation:

Second-generation antipsychotics were created with the purpose of representing a major breakthrough in drug treatment of psychotic disorders in recent decades. Compared to first-generation antipsychotics, second-generation antipsychotics were proposed to have the advantage of causing fewer extrapyramidal side effects such as parkinsonism, dystonia, akathisia, and tardive dyskinesia, and moreover had a greater effect on the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. . However, recent research has found that second-generation antipsychotic drugs, while having fewer side effects, were no more effective than older drugs.
