  • Title: Physical ill-health and psychotropic drug prescription--a review.
    Author: Williams P.
    Journal: Psychol Med; 1978 Nov; 8(4):683-93. PubMed ID: 31648.
    Abstract:
    This review collates evidence of substantial physical morbidity in patients who receive psychotropic drugs, and evidence that these drugs are not infrequently prescribed for patients with known physical illness. Minor tranquillizers are the psychotropic drugs most commonly prescribed, and the category of physical illness most likely to be associated with psychotropic medication is cardiovascular disease.
