title: Effective treatment of schizophrenia with quetiapine in a 34-year-old Caucasian man.
abstract: This case history reports on the sustained clinical efficacy of quetiapine in a 34-year-old man with chronic paranoid schizophrenia, who was a partial responder to traditional therapy. Quetiapine was found to be effective against both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, and had an excellent safety profile. The patient, who had also suffered from alcohol dependency, decreased his alcohol consumption as a result of responding to therapy, and successfully became re-integrated into society.
