    Second-generation antipsychotics - a panacea?
    (AOSIS, 2004) Carey, Paul D.; Stein, Dan; Emsley, Robin
    The introduction of the second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) (atypical antipsychotics) for the treatment of psychotic disorders has changed the goals of modern therapeutic outcomes. No longer are positive symptoms of psychosis in schizophrenia the only outcomes measured, but dimensions including negative and cognitive symptoms are now crucial to determining efficacy. As a result outcomes in these areas are increasingly impacting on our choice of treatment.
