| Popis: | The effect of clozapine, and atypical antipsychotic medication, in five patients with treatment-resistant schizo-phrenia or schizoaffective disorder and borderline intellectual functioning or mental retardation (MR) was studied. Four of the five patients responded favorably to clozapine with few side effects. Progressive improvement in psychopathology, social functioning, and ability to participate in daily activities were noted. |
