Antidepressants are not exactly antipsychotics, however some are known to improve (and others worsen) some psychotic symptoms.
For some individuals with milder psychotic disorders (or prodromal issues) monotherapy with certain antidepressants can sometimes be all that is required.
There were a few studies on citalopram showing that it could alleviate psychotic and mood symtpoms in certain individuals.
SSRIs can lower dopamine which is the net effect of antipsychotics.
