A new algorithm for treating schizophrenia.

This article presents two algorithms dealing with the management of schizophrenia. One provides a strategy for initiating pharmacologic treatment of schizophrenia and for ongoing medication management. The other covers suggestions for managing several common comorbid psychiatric conditions and some common side effects. The major change from previous algorithms is the suggestion that the newer atypical antipsychotic agents may now be the treatment of choice for initiating therapy in most clinical situations.

Laboratory services for psychiatric facilities.

The science and marketing of psychiatric treatment are rapidly changing, and the changes are reflected, in part, in the recent evolution of the use of laboratory services. Nevertheless, there are few, if any, articles in the literature addressing how a laboratory service can best assist a psychiatric hospital. This article presents a scaffolding of current issues to be considered when determining how a laboratory can assist the psychiatric facility. It cites the special laboratory needs of the psychiatric hospital and issues to be considered when evaluating laboratory service.
