Haloperidol-- antipsychotic

tourette's is associated with OCD
onset is younger than 18
schizophrenia
increased dopamine levels

decline over 6 months

diagnosis requires 2 or more of the following
1. delusions (paranoid type)
2. hallucinations
3. disorganized speech (loose associations)
4. disorganized or catonic behavior
5. negative symptoms (flattened affect, social withdrawal, lack of motivation)


genetic factors outweigh the environmental factors

brief psychotic disorder (less than 1 month)
1-6 months: schizophreniform

schizoaffective disorder: at least 2 weeks of stable mood, plus major depressive, manic or mixed (depressed, or bipolar)

presents earlier in men than women (20-30)

also block the 5-HT receptors, along with D2, alpha and histamine receptors

can treat the negative sx of schizophrenia

eggs are surrounded by eosinophils, IgE antibodies are attached to the eggs. Eosinophils have Fc receptors for IgE, the eosinophils attach to the IgE and release major basic protein which destroys the egg--> type II hypersensitivity reaction
