Psychiatric medications are an important part of the interaction between patients and clinicians in psychiatric settings. This article examines metaphors used by patients and clinicians to talk about the effects of antipsychotic medication. Metaphors provide a way to communicate about issues of identity and change involved in giving and taking medication. Although metaphorical language can contribute to misunderstandings between patients and clinicians, metaphor is also a major way in which clinical experiences are given shared meanings.
精神科药物是精神科环境中患者与临床医生互动的重要组成部分。本文探讨了患者和临床医生用来谈论抗精神病药物作用的隐喻。隐喻为交流用药过程中涉及的身份认同和变化问题提供了一种方式。尽管隐喻性语言可能会导致患者与临床医生之间的误解，但隐喻也是赋予临床经验共同意义的主要方式。
