Additionall content to my latest edit here at olanzapine

Confusing paragraph

I have removed the following paragraphs from the article because it is poorly written and confusing. If anyone can make sense of it and rewrite it clearly, it could potentially be added back into the article. Marbletan (talk) 14:29, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Antipsychotics got usually categorized, in a first view, into mostly calming and sedative, and mostly having an antipsychotic (most of all namely antidelusionall) effect.
