Practice Review

  • Antidepressants: uses and attitudes among consultant psychiatrists – A questionnaire study

  • Brian O'Shea
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    13 June 2014, pp. 167-170

  • An audit of Consultant Psychiatrists' views on and uses of antidepressant drugs is reported. At present senior prescribers largely opt for the older tricyclic antidepressants despite a knowledge of their shortcomings. MAOIs are less popular and newer drugs are viewed cautiously and apprehensively. Lofepramine is largely viewed as an alternative to dothiepin and amitriptyline. Non-drug strategies in the management of depression consist largely of support, environmental manipulation and electroconvulsive therapy. The relatively novel treatment, cognitive therapy, has a strong minority following.

  • Carl Wernicke [1848-1905] gave the first description of sensory aphasia [1874] and of ophthalmoplegic encephalopathy [1881]. In addition, his notion of ‘Sejunction’ [1894] foreshadowed Bleuler's ‘schizophrenia [1908], and he may be justly said to have been the first successful organic neuropsychiatrist.
