[Antipsychotics in psychiatry.].
In this article we have tried to situate the anti-psychotic drugs within modern psychiatry in relation to the various therapies for schizophrenia. Without entering into detail, we have touched upon the main advantages and disadvantages of neuroleptics. We conclude that the advantages outweight the disadvantages. However, we have also stressed the necessity of selecting patients carefully and of taking certain precautions in regard to the neurological effects of anti-psychotic drugs currently available in clinics.
