Do medications given by psychiatrists act as chemical lobotomies killing brains cells to permanently alter personality and does a chemical attack on emotion cause any dangerous psychopathology?

If the correct psychiatric medication for a particular patient is given in the correct dosage, then nothing resembling a chemical lobotomy will result, and many patients are greatly helped. The use of the wrong drug or the wrong dosage of a drug can be very harmful to a patient. Mental illness is difficult to treat. As for your question about possible psycopathology resulting from a chemical attack on emotion, the most common problem with excessive or inappropriate use of tranquilizers would be addiction to tranquilizers or other drugs. People at some point become unable to manage their emotions without drugs, which is not the healthiest outcome that we might seek.
