dc.description.abstractThere is a public misconception that persons with mental disorders are 'bad' rather than 'ill' in the medical sense of the word. This fosters the apprehension that the mentally ill are dangerous, that they should be locked up and kept away from society. However the advent of psychotropic medications has allowed many persons with psychiatric disorders to spend less time in mental hospitals and more time in the community (Costas, 1990). Among the mental hospital diseases that have been misconceived is schizophrenia. In the twentieth century there was the introduction of medical treatment for schizophrenia, but it was only after the success achieved by chloropromazine in 1952 that other new drugs, some with similar structures while others with different structures, were introduced.en_GB
