Since beginning of mankind, mental illness has played a role in our society. Victims of such illnesses have been outcast, stereotyped and often ridiculed. However, over time, medical and psychiatric science advanced and medical community became more knowledgeable of these conditions.

It wasn’t until 20th century when scientists began to experiment with certain chemicals that would alleviate symptoms caused by neurological disorders such as schizophrenia. These drugs are called antipsychotics and they block certain chemical receptors in brain. At first these drugs were praised in medical community, however case studies began to show that long term effects of these drugs caused patients to develop serious coordination problems. Since benefits often times outweighed risks, doctors continued to prescribe these drugs to their patients.
