    Abstract Background: Depression is commonly associated with the longitudinal course of schizophrenia. Several etiologies for this problem have been proposed but, to our knowledge, noncompliance with antiparkinsonian medications has not been considered.
    Method: Case histories of two patients who were noncompliant and one who threatened noncompliance with antiparkinsonian medications are presented. All three patients were diagnosed with schizophrenia by DSM-III-R criteria and had been clinically stable for long periods.
    Results: All three patients became depressed when their adjunctive benztropine was stopped, and their depressions remitted when their benztropine was reinstated.
    Conclusion: Noncompliance with antiparkinsonian medications may be associated with a reversible depression in patients receiving maintenance neuroleptics for schizophrenia. Since this is a newly described phenomenon, the scope of the problem is not known; however, it may contribute to the wide prevalence of depressive symptoms in schizophrenia. Clinical measures to facilitate detection of such noncompliance are discussed.

    Abstract A distinct hypokinetic syndrome appears to exist across several different neuropsychiatric diagnoses, involving (1) slowed motor activity with difficulty initiating and sustaining behaviors, (2) anhedonia with depressed mood and reduced affective range, and (3) cognitive impairment. Specifically, three well-recognized states--parkinsonism, retarded depression, and the negative symptoms of schizophrenia--prominently feature the components of this syndrome, and reduced dopamine turnover in the brain has been hypothesized to play a part in the pathophysiology of each. While aspects of this conceptualization remain controversial, it generates testable hypotheses that could have implications for the understanding and treatment of these states.

    Abstract This article focuses on an area in clinical drug trials for new antipsychotic medications for the treatment of schizophrenia which has not received sufficient attention in the literature: the day-to-day implementation tasks performed by research staff which have potential effects on study results. Implementation tasks are viewed as dynamic processes involving interactions among research and nonresearch staff, patients, families, and pharmaceutical company staff. Research-related demands and possible sources of stress for all participants in the process, such as recruiting and maintaining patients in studies, are discussed. Suggestions are offered for increasing the ease of participation. Further investigation is called for in several areas including variability in the effectiveness of research teams and in the rarely discussed interactions between site staff and pharmaceutical company personnel, as they may affect research outcomes. It is posited that increased knowledge about implementation processes in schizophrenia drug development is needed to more fully understand study results and to enhance patients' and their families' willingness to participate.

    Abstract Co-occurring or associated psychiatric syndromes (APS) such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and panic disorder have largely been hidden from view by exclusion rules that prohibit their being diagnosed in the presence of schizophrenia. This article presents data from a clinical study of APS in chronic schizophrenia and reviews the relevant literature. Thirty-seven chronic schizophrenia patients consecutively admitted to a day program were administered the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnosis for DSM-IV and the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale symptom checklist. Exclusion rules prohibiting the diagnosis of APS were bypassed. Eighteen patients (48.6%) had one or more APS. Ten patients (27%) had major depression. Eleven (29.7%) met criteria for OCD. Four patients (10.8%) met criteria for panic disorder. These findings suggest that APS may be common in chronic schizophrenia and that there is a need to study these syndromes' clinical validity, including their treatability. A research plan to study the validity of these syndromes further is discussed.

    Abstract The hypothesis that the pathophysiology of negative symptoms in schizophrenia may involve relative hypoactivity of central dopaminergic neurotransmission prompts the exploration of dopamine agonist strategies in the treatment of this condition. Although the use of dopamine agonists in otherwise unmedicated schizophrenic patients often leads to the exacerbation of psychosis, trials of dopamine agonists in combination with neuroleptic agents warrant investigation. We therefore report on open clinical experience involving six patients with chronic negative symptoms of schizophrenia, maintained on neuroleptic medication, who appeared to have favorable responses to the addition of moderate doses of bromocriptine (10 to 20 mg/d orally in divided doses). One particular factor that makes these trials potentially informative is that five of the six patients had failed to respond to standard treatments with anticholinergic antiparkinsonian medication before the bromocriptine trial, making it unlikely that the bromocriptine had its effect purely by counteracting neuroleptic-induced akinesia. A trial of bromocriptine under these circumstances has never been reported. A second unique feature of this report concerns the lengthy period of follow-up. Adjunctive bromocriptine was continued for a total of 27 patient-years in the six individuals, with maintenance of favorable course and minimal incidence of psychotic exacerbation.
