so ya, if a psychiatrist is trying to solve childhood trauma issues with Schizophrenia meds it really would be random guesswork...

You guys have some reading comprehension problems it seems. I did not state schizophrenia IS caused by childhood trauma. I said usually there had been some underlying affect of childhood trauma. Not the same thing.
Only therapy solves issues at the core. Not antipsychotic medication or schizophrenia medication as you state it. It's still all guess work by trial and error. Even with all of the blood testing that the people taking these medications are subjected to there is no defined levels of serotonin or other chemicals of the brain that can be accurately measured before or after medications.
You prescribe meds and see if it helps or doesn't help. Then they play with the levels. Then if there is no improvement they try other medications and go from there and the cycle goes like that but you guys obviously know all of this already so I'll just bow out now.
