Okay, so my psych is recommending that I be put on an antipsychotic (olanzapine, 2.5mg) and I'm TERRIFIED because I heard that they could shrink the brain and decrease gray matter and I don't want this to be permanent or anything omg :(((

I'm so upset and scared because my depression got so bad I had to be involuntarily admitted to an inpatient facility I've tried so many antidepressants but none have really helped so far...

I'm the most worried about my mood swings and intensity of moods, so should I inquire about possibly trying a mood stabilizer instead? I don't want them to think I'm being manipulative or anything for asking this
