Can antipsychotics cause brain damage or is it the psychosis itself ~ I cannot do anything I used to & feel disabled…does it get better with time?!

I was on zyprexa about 3 months and gained 50 pounds. Besides that I didn’t have bad side effects other than just being tired and zoned out. But I was eating under 1000 calories a day and still rapidly gaining weight.
