Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

Response to peer review: After reading my peer reviews, I will be making some significant changes to my article. When I read eresha8's review, she had suggested that I cut down the portion of the lead. As I read back through the lead, the lead is heavily detailed, and does need to be cut down to allow for a general basis of what the article will be. In union, most of my peer reviews say that the lead was confusing, and going from place to place, so I plan on leaving a brief history of antipsychotics. I was also suggested to add images, as the edits I have right now are all words.
