Prolonged High Dosage Ataractic Medication in Chronic Schizophrenia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
Ataractic drugs have been the mainstay of treatment in schizophrenia for the last eight years. Since their introduction, mental hospitals, in various areas of the United States and in every country, have been able to discharge more patients than they admit. Despite this fact there remains much divergent opinion about the value of these drugs, doubt arising from inconsistent therapeutic results and the relapse rate. Also, some double-blind studies have cast some doubt upon the efficiency of these drugs. We are reporting this relatively small study because we feel that it opens an insight and possibly suggests a method of standardizing treatment in the near future.
