Title: "Do unto others as..."--which treatments do psychiatrists prefer? Author: Taylor M, Brown T. Journal: Scott Med J; 2007 Feb; 52(1):17-9. PubMed ID: 17373419. Abstract: We undertook an independent national survey of psychiatrists' treatment preferences should they become mentally ill. The response rate was 59% from 921 individuals. For psychosis, atypical antipsychotics were generally favoured with risperidone receiving most votes. Psychotherapy and antidepressants were both endorsed as treatments for mild-to-moderate depression, and citalopram, fluoxetine and venlafaxine were the three preferred antidepressants. ECT received the backing of a large majority of psychiatrists, particularly for severe mood disorder.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
