title: Drug response patterns as a basis of nosology for the mood-incongruent psychoses (the schizophrenias).
abstract: Interaction of therapeutic drugs with a series of different biopathological substrates of psychosis might be expected to generate a series of different response patterns. Herein the authors suggest that multi-modal response patterns following lithium and neuroleptic treatment of psychotic patients may aid in resolving the heterogeneity of psychotic disorders and lead to a new nosology of the psychoses.
