Increased CSF cortisol levels after neuroleptic treatment in schizophrenia.
The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentration of cortisol was determined in schizophrenic patients drug-free and on neuroleptics, compared to healthy controls, and in schizophrenics before and during neuroleptic treatment. Neuroleptics significantly increased the CSF concentrations of cortisol in these patients.
