THE VITAL LINK. The community mental health center - vital link in the delivery of comprehensive psychiatric care. The community mental health center has emerged as a vital resource in community psychiatric services. Treatment at theste centers is usually available to a large number of patients, yet therapy must meet individual needs. Mellaril can help many patients with psychotic disorders who are begin treated in the community mental health center. It is highly effective in reducing exceitment, hypermotility, abnormal initiative, affective tension, and agitation - without causing euphoria, addiction, or undue sedation. (However, patients should be warned about participating in activities which require complete mental alertness, e.g., driving.) And, although extrapyramidal symptoms are characteristic of this class of drug, minimal extrapyramidal stimulation - notably pseudoparkinsonism - is a distinctive feature of Mellaril. Mellaril (Thioridazine) effectively manages the symptoms of psychotic disorders. |
