American psychiatric association.
At this year's 161st Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association, from May 3 to 8, 2008, in Washington, DC, researchers presented data on new atypical antipsychotic medications (iloperidone and asenapine) with an efficacy comparable to that of older atypical agents but with more benign side-effect profiles in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In addition, among studies of post-traumatic stress disorder in veterans returning from tours of duty in Iraq, preliminary results for medications in combination with virtual reality exposure therapy show strong promise.
