Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

Lithium carbonate is particularly effective as...

Drug Therapy

239
The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.

Area of Science:

  • Digital health interventions
  • Psychiatric technology
  • Mental health mobile applications

Background:

  • Early intervention for psychotic disorders improves long-term outcomes, but access and quality of care vary globally.
  • Mobile apps offer personalized support for psychotic disorders through symptom monitoring, medication reminders, and self-management.
  • Existing reviews lack a comprehensive synthesis of app efficacy, safety, and acceptability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and synthesize evidence on mobile apps for psychotic disorders.
  • To analyze app types, features, implementation feasibility, usability, clinical impact, and safety.
  • To inform future app design, evaluation, and clinical integration.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review protocol structured using PRISMA-P and PICOS framework.
  • Searches across six electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycInfo).
  • Two independent reviewers for screening, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment using Cochrane RoB2 and MMAT.

Main Results:

  • Data synthesis will include meta-analyses for feasibility, impact, and safety where applicable.
  • App characteristics and user experience will be descriptively analyzed.
  • Risk of bias will be assessed using established tools.

Conclusions:

  • This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of app features, safety, and impact, updating previous focused reviews.
  • Findings will inform future mobile app development, evaluation, and implementation in clinical services.
  • Potential negative impacts of apps will be addressed, with mitigation strategies proposed.
