Extract

Many patients admitted to psychiatric hospitals give a history of recent drug treatment, and this may be important in the assessment of their clinical state. The aim of the present study was to survey the pattern of drug treatment in psychiatric patients at the time of admission, and to compare various accounts of this treatment.
