I am a Nursing Supervsior in a long term care facility, and I can tell you that the use of such meds
is very closely regulated. If a person
is prescribed an anti-anxiety med, antidepressant, antipsychotics, etc...we must have a written thorough diagnosis from the Rx-ing physician indicating why that med is needed, along with frequent labs and assessments to both eval the effectiveness of the med, along with monitoring for any probelms.
