Prästationäres Drug-Monitoring von Psychopharmaka bei Akutaufnahme in einer psychiatrischen Versorgungsklinik

Abstract

In the treatment of affective and schizophrenic psychosis, modern atypical antipsychotic agents and newer antidepressive agents recently have increasingly been used. In this prospective naturalistic study, patients were examined who had previously been treated psychopharmaceutically for a schizophrenic (n = 52) or depressive (n = 38) disorder and were readmitted in a psychiatric emergency clinic. While Serum levels were examined major interest was to find out similarities or differences in the drug compliance of schizophrenic and depressive patients before rehospitalization.
