Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is the most common type of mental illness characterized by changes in basic personality, split thinking, emotion, and behavior, and incoordination between mental activities and the environment. Schizophrenia is the most common group of mental illnesses. Survey data from six districts in the United States show that its annual incidence rate is 0.43‰ to 0.69‰, and 0.30‰ to 1.20‰ for those over 15 years old (Babigian, 1975). In some parts of my country, it is 0.09‰. According to the International Schizophrenia Pilot Survey (IPSS), 20 centers in 18 countries have surveyed more than 3,000 people for more than 20 years. The annual incidence rate of schizophrenia in the general population is between 0.2‰ and 0.6‰, with an average of 0.3‰ (Shinfuku, 1992).

PROCHLORPERAZINE MALEATE- prochlorperazine maleate_tablet
Indication: For control of severe nausea and vomiting. For the treatment of schizophrenia. Prochlorperazine is effective for the short-term treatment of generalized non-psychotic anxiety. However, prochlorperazine is not the first drug to be used in therapy for most patients with non-psychotic anxiety, because certain risks associated with its use are not shared by common alternative treatments (e.g., benzodiazepines). When used in the treatment of non-psychotic anxiety, prochlorperazine should not be administered at doses of more than 20 mg per day or for longer than 12 weeks, because the use of prochlorperazine at higher doses or for longer intervals may cause persistent tardive dyskinesia that may prove irreversible (see WARNINGS) The effectiveness of prochlorperazine as treatment for non-psychotic anxiety was established in 4-week clinical studies of outpatients with generalized anxiety disorder. This evidence does not predict that prochlorperazine will be useful in patients with other non-psychotic conditions in which anxiety, or signs that mimic anxiety, are found (e.g., physical illness, organic mental conditions, agitated depression, character pathologies, etc.). Prochlorperazine has not been shown effective in the management of behavioral complications in patients with mental retardation.
