Extract

Many of the changes which make up the revolution in the treatment of the mentally ill in large hospitals in recent years have been facilitated by the use of new drugs, the tranquillizers. A patient who takes his tranquillizer responds better to other treatment, the staff becomes more friendly and helpful: such an anti-vicious cycle hastens recovery. A patient who refuses to take his medication in tablets or capsules is given it in liquid form, the ingestion of which can be more easily checked.
