[Retrospective comparative study of treatment with delayed-action neuroleptics and neuroleptics administrated orally in long-term psychosis].
Through a retrospective study, we have tried to compare the indication spectrum and efficacy of depot neuroleptics versus oral neuroleptics on two hundred patients suffering from long term psychosis. For each group, we selected one hundred patients who met the following requirements: the minimal duration of chemotherapy was of 3 years, the patients were aged 16 to 60. Patients receiving depot neuroleptics, although their original prognosis were worse than those of patients receiving oral neuroleptics, obtained the same good results concerning most semiological, chemotherapeutic and institutional criteria. However, good results for patients receiving depot neuroleptics must be qualified because of a more important number of chronic and defect states and a lack of autonomy.
