I’ve googled this and searched through reddit but nothing gives a clear explanation. Antipsychotics can apparently help stabilize your mood… essentially making them mood stabilizers? How are they different from actual mood stabilizers then? Are they just mood stabilizers that can help with extra things? If someone with a mood disorder has tried a lot of different mood stabilizers that don’t help effectively, what advantage could an antipsychotic have over those medications?

Slightly off topic. If you’re asking this because of your own personal mental health, get a Genesight test. It can help your doctor more quickly identify what may or not work for you due to known metabolic interactions between common medicines and certain genetic markers.
