Sigh. This is the problem with the profession these days. Too many psychiatrists only know about SSRIs, SNRIs, plus a couple of novel meds such as mirtazapine so go direct to antipsychotics when the limited number of ADs in their bag of tricks fail instead of trying the older *ADs which are often more effective than the newer ones.
* although doxepin probably doesn't qualify as an AD
