Extract

The published reports on convulsant drug therapy of the psychoses have stressed the favourable results of such treatment, with only an occasional reference to the undesirable or unfavourable sequelæ other than such complications as fractures, dislocations, cardiac arrhythmias, etc. It seems worth while to survey the results of a series of patients so treated, and point out that psychotic patients receiving convulsant drug therapy may show undesirable mental sequelæ.
