If you are worried i would suggest talking with your doctor. There are many other medicine that can help anxiety if you really don't want to take antipsychotics.

I'm forced to take antipsychotics against my will and also potentially against my well being unfortunately, that's the atrocious law here where I live.
I have not experienced thinking problems like the ones of my PCS, but I suffer from side effects like restlessness and severe difficulty concentrating.
By the way, why do you think that Abilify is okay unlike other antipsychotics?

Btw if you are scared of potential brain damage from any medicine, this doesnt occur if you take it for a short term. Any medicine has the potential to do harm if you take it forever in high doses. So you should be fine with just trying.

Sorry for being annonying with my countless questions, but what do you mean by short term?
A matter of weeks, months or years is necessary to do brain damage, especially to a sensitive brain like a PCS one?
