Description

Approximately 5 million people in the United States suffer from severe mental illnesses such s schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, and severe forms of panic and obsessive--compulsive disorders (National Advisory Mental Health Council, 1993). These mental illnesses can run a chronic course and disable the daily living activities of individuals. Of the many treatment approaches available for severe mental illness, pharmacotherapy or drug treatment first introduced in the 1950s has been the most helpful in ameliorating symptoms caused by such disorders. The newer psychotropic drugs introduced in the mid-1990s have especially been found to be more promising than the earlier traditional psychotropic drugs. The overall findings of the clinical trials completed on newer antipsychotics provide evidence that these drugs are more effective and have fewer side effects compared with the older antipsychotic drugs (McEvoy, 1998). Clinical trials completed with newer antidepressant drugs likewise reveal that these drugs are as effective as traditional antidepressants and are safer in terms of adverse side effects (Rush, 1998).
