Tranquilizers Start to Reshape Treatment of Mental Illness
The article notes that over 35 million prescriptions will be written this year for tranquilizing drugs, now a major weapon against mental illness. It highlights the shift from skepticism to widespread medical use, naming chlorpromazine and rauwolfia derivatives, Meprobamate in popular forms like Miltown, and new agents such as Atarax, with doctors stressing these drugs aid psychotherapy rather than cure.
