1. Clozapine

Under History Section:

"Clozapine fell out of favor for more than a decade".....Because of the list of side effects and syndrome caused by Clozapine, early triallist was suggested to discarded and for these reason, the introduction of clozapine in Japan was never licensed.


 * This seems to contradict the article which says Clozapine was commercially released in 1972 and voluntarily withdrawn in 1975.

Hi anthony, I actually put it the wrong way. I just edited it as above. I hope its not contradicting this time. Thanks again for the feedback.

2.Antipsychotic

Under Controversy Section:

The discovery of Chlorpromazine's psychoactive effects in 1952 led to greatly reduced use of restraint, seclusion and sedation in the management of agitated patients, and also led to the development of antidepressants, anxiolytics and the majority of other drugs now used in the management of nervous conditions. Despite this, no Nobel Prize was ever awarded for this discovery, due to the discoverers describing its effects in quite different terms. In 1952, Henri Laborit described it as inducing indifference towards what was happening around them in nonpsychotic, nonmanic patients, and Jean Delay and Pierre Deniker described it as controlling manic or psychotic agitation. The former claimed to have discovered a treatment for agitation in anyone, and the latter team claimed to have discovered a treatment for psychotic illness.

3.Psychosis

The term psychotic refers to the presence of certain symptoms. However, the significant group of symptoms to which the term refers vary to some extent across the diagnostic categories of the DSM-IV. For instance, in schizophrenia "psychosis" refers to delusions and hallucinations, while in Psychotic Disorder due to a General Medical Condition and Subsantce-induced Psychotic Disorder "psychotic" refers either to delusions or to those people who suffer from hallucinations without insight. .


 * To make this claim you'll need to cite a source that makes the claim. Does the DSM-IV actually say "psychosis" means different things in the different disorders? Does one of your textbooks make that claim?

Hi Anthony, the DSM-IV manual says it DSM-IV manual under Schizophrenia.

4.Agoraphobia

In response to a traumatic event, anxiety may interrupt the formation of memories and disrupt the learning processes, resulting in dissociation. Depersonalization (a feeling of disconnection from one’s self) and derealisation (a feeling of disconnection from one's surroundings) are other dissociative methods of withdrawing from anxiety.


 * I have taken the liberty of rewriting some of the above because your expression was not very clear. I hope I haven't misunderstood your meaning. Please feel free to ignore my changes.


 * It is extremely important that you mention the page number/s from the text you are citing, like this: pp. 33-4 or similar, at the end of the citation, so other readers can check that you are not making it up.
