Dryq Results Show Little Effect atients On English By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York "f British scien tists :z"r that the tranquiliz irt a dru:s tr.'inquilize American nuTitni ii'isritiil patients main ly beciiu.se American mental hos pital conditions are such that they'd rob every relatively sane people of their tranquility. The suggestion was made to the American Psychiatric Assn. by thrre doctors whose investiga tion showed that one of the most widely used of the drugs had very little effect on extremely untranqinl patients in English mentnl hospitals. Thoir results were in rom pletIv opposed to the results of many American investigations of th same drug in American patient? that some sort of an explanation was very much in order. And so they suggested one. Th drug is reserpine which was the original "tranquilizer." Its ' main effect" on mental pa tients "seemed" to the British scientists to be not on the sym toms of the mental disease but 'nn the symptoms which arise as a direct result of the conditions which are imposed on psychotic patients overcrowded and lock ed wards. Not Convinced "Disturbed patterns of be havior would, we suggest, un doubtedly occur in "normal' peo ple under similar conditions," continued Drs. Charles P. Gore. George P. Egan, and Donald Wal- ton. "In short, we are not con-: vinced that reserpine or any i other drug currently available can take the place of an enlight ened approach to the care of these patients." In Britain, they said, mental hospitals are smaller. Locked and overcrowded wards do exi but ' 'maximum security' wards ar unknown, and there is a growing tendency to abolish all locked wards." They cited a Brit ish study which showed that "the unlockina of wards produces re sults as gratifying and dramatic as those attributed to reser p:ne." Their main investigation was with 20 "chronic, intractable" schizophrenics who were "ex ceptionally difficult nursing problems." Ten were dosed daily with reserpine, and the other ten with an inert but identical appearing pill. Later the first ten got the dummy pills and the second ten got the reserpine. Thus, there were "controls." Most Unchanged In addition to their behavior naterns and mental condition, the doctors kept a close check on their blood pressures and hlood-pressure lowering agent as well as a tranquilizer. In 16 of the 20 there were no changes in behavior: "four showed slight but definite improvement." They also tried reserpine in 34 "incurable" schizophrenics. In 21 there was no behavioral change. four were 'slightly worse." eight were slightly im proved and one greatly im proved but his history showed that he had had previous periods of improvement without benefit of any drug. In both groups, al arming heart reactions develop ed. "On the basis of our findings it seems to us that reserpine is in no way curative, and has only a limited role to play in psychia try." they reported to their American colleagues. "Nor should it be overlooked that is is a dangerous drug and may cause depression of suicidal in tensity and even cardiac failure due to water retention though j given in small doses.''
