Effectiveness

• Research support from outcome studies


  • Bagnal - atypical APs very effective, especially in relapsing patients
  • Meltzer - clozapine is very effective
  • Thornley - chlorpromazine effective in relapsing patients
• Counterpoint to outcome studies


  • Healy - only short-term effects
  • Data published multiple times
  • Sedative effect undermines effectiveness
