Pharmacologic strategies in the treatment of schizophrenia.
One article is too short for a comprehensive discussion of drug treatment of schizophrenia. The most important features, many of which are controversial, have been emphasized. We await future research that will answer these questions, and will show us better and safer treatments. We must be sure to use our present treatments optimally, which means exerting extra effort to overcome continuing symptoms, even if it means trying many different drugs and even combinations of drugs.
