Antipsychotic Drugs

This is the atypical anti-psychotic drug known as Clozaril. It was introduced in the 1990 as a prescription drug therapy for the treatment of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a mental illness consisting of a total loss of contact with reality due to persistent delusions and hallucinations, that last for a period longer than six months. This drug is highly effective in the treatment of positive, or type I symptoms of schizophrenia. The drawback to this drug is that it lowers a patient's white blood cell count.

I have been volunteering at a Community Alliance resident center, where about forty percent of the inhabitants have Schizophrenia along with other mood disorders. I am also a psychology major and I believe that antipsychotic drugs are the best means of treatment for people with schizophrenia. This man-made tool corrects many of the abnormalities and dysfunctions shown in a patient with schizophrenia and allows for the patient to become whole again.

Clorazil is a man-made drug that was created to control the natural biological and psychological suffering caused by schizophrenia. This drug corrects the overabundance of dopamine that appears to be responsible for causing schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a natural disorder that has plagued humanity for thousands of years, and this drug represents man kind's ability to better understand and treat psychological conditions through a scientific process.
