The schizophrenia drug-treatment paradox: pharmacological treatment based on best possible evidence may be hardest to practise in high-income countries

Clive E Adams et al. Br J Psychiatry. 2006 Nov.

Abstract

Most people with schizophrenia live in low- and middle-income countries in which clinicians/policy makers are not the first targets of marketing. Because it is years after a drug is first launched that the full effects become known with confidence, the evidence upon which to base practice in low- and middle-income countries may be less biased than that in richer nations.
