- Abstract
With the introduction of atypical antipsychotics, a promising new era in the treatment of schizophrenia and psychotic disorders has begun. These drugs effect a broader range of schizophrenic psychopathology by improving depressive symptomatology and cognitive functions. These drugs are also better tolerated and considerably improve the qualify of life and treatment compliance of the patients. On the other hand, these new drugs are associated with other potentially important side effects. Three main entities among these side effects that may cause important complications in long-term treatment are reviewed: diabetes mellitus, lipid profile alterations and weight gain.
