Clothiapine is a quite widely used, but understudied, first-generation antipsychotic with the pharmacodynamic properties of aliphatic phenothiazines and clozapine. The aim of our comprehensive review was to summarise state of the art clinical and pharmacological data concerning the use of clothiapine in several psychiatric conditions. The main evidence is from shortterm studies evaluating efficacy in schizophrenia versus active comparators. Off-label use in alcohol abstinence and insomnia is also reported with preliminary promising findings. Few studies systematically investigated the tolerability and safety of clothiapine, specifically extrapyramidal symptoms and its effect on the QT interval, which appear comparable to other first-generation antipsychotics. From the scientific literature, we believe that this drug has not been adequately investigated and consequently it risks being a valid, but underutilised, pharmacological tool in psychiatry.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to explore adherence to the combination of various recommended elements of specialised early psychosis programmes. This is astonishing, since all recommendations in this domain stress the importance, along with adapted medication, of other treatment components such as case management, psychosocial intervention, family intervention and supported employment. Various interesting elements stem from our data analysis. First, the vast majority of patients reach adherence to all elements of treatment at some point of the 3-year programme we propose. Second, lack of development of insight and persistence of substance abuse are the strongest correlates of failure to adhere to integrated treatment, along with the presence of a forensic history. Third, patients who fail to fully adhere to integrated treatment have poorer symptomatic remission and poorer insight after the entire treatment period. Finally, although some patients who never fully adhered to treatment over the entire 3 years reached a reasonable level of functioning, the vast majority did not and only 8% of them returned to independent work combined with independent living. Based on these results, it seems clear that promoting adherence to all the elements of specialised integrated treatment should be an aim with early psychosis patients. Full article

Numerous publications have shown that the outcome of bipolar disorder is worse than previously thought, with poor outcomes evident from the first episode of mania. Although the manic syndrome usually resolves rapidly in the vast majority of patients, functional outcome often lags behind. In this context, it is important to study the outcome of mania in various settings and to identify predictors of outcome in order to identify sub-groups of patients with specific needs. In this study, we explored the outcome of 118 patients with a first episode of psychotic mania (FEPM) treated at EPPIC, Melbourne, Australia, and, more specifically, the impact of age at onset (<21 years and ≥21 years) of this first episode on 18-month outcome. Globally, patients had a good level of premorbid functioning in spite of high rates of exposure to sexual and physical abuse and of cannabis use. After presenting with very intense symptoms and low functioning at entry to the service, outcome was rather good, which suggests that adequate treatment provided in a specialised setting allows a favourable outcome after FEPM. The good quality of this treatment may explain why we did not find any difference in outcome when comparing subgroups defined by age at onset of FEPM. Full article
