Définition

  • The use of pharmacologic agents to treat psychiatric illness has increased dramatically since the advent in the 1950s of chlorpromazine, an antipsychotic drug widely regarded as the first psychotropic medication. Interest in the medication-based treatment of trauma-related disorders such as acute stress disorder (ASD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has grown as those disorders have been more formally characterized and increasingly recognized.
