| Abstract: | Lithium addition to neuroleptic treatment brought about some improvement in 6 schizophrenic inpatients. In 3 of them, however, enhancement of daily activity did not parallel improvement in psychiatric symptoms. This suggests that lithium addition may enhance daily activity independently of psychiatric symptoms, and that lithium effects should also be assessed from the viewpoint of daily activity. |
