Abstract
Sulpiride is a benzamide which is not chemically related to any of the psychotropic drugs currently in use in this country. It has hallucinolytic and antidelusional as well as antidepressant effects and therefore has a broad therapeutic spectrum. It is most effective in schizo-affective illness, depressive type. Sulpiride is also indicated for use in paranoid depressive states of adolescents and pre-adolescents, characterized by depression and ideas of reference or persecution. These young patients often manifest school phobia.
