Trends in Antipsychotic Polypharmacy and Potential Overtreatment with Antipsychotics: A Naturalistic Cohort Study of People in Long-term Care
Potentially overtreated patients should be revaluated to assess whether changes are needed. To assess whether a patient is truly overtreated, their clinical history, number of relapses, patients' preferences, overall functioning, previous attempts to reduce antipsychotic treatment, and previous severity of disease should be taken into account.
