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.''
