[Intensive neuroleptic treatment in schizophrenias]

A report is made on the first results of the treatment with Droperidol of subacute illnesses of the schizophrenic type. Droperidol is a quick-working, very potent neuroleptic which leads to rapid comfort in cases of psychomotor conditions of agitation. The idea is discussed that Droperidol tends to accumulate and, beyond mere sedation, produces an excessive anti-psychotic effect which provides a favourable medium for the further introduction of other neuroleptics.
