Editorial Reviews:
The mechanisms of action and receptor binding profiles of novel antipsychotics support a rationale for their use in conditions other than schizophrenia. A growing body of evidence indicates that these agents can be beneficial in non-psychotic conditions such as bipolar disorder, dementia, Parkinson's disease psychosis, borderline personality disorder, and in adolescent populations. What are the implications and opportunities when considering novel antipsychotics for these conditions? The experts will examine the data and growing clinical experience to broaden the discussion about appropriate uses for these agents. Upon completion of this activity, the participant should be able to: 1) Review the receptor binding characteristics of the novel antipsychotics and their relevance in the treatment of non-psychotic conditions. 2) Evaluate the potential benefits of novel antipsychotics in bipolar disorder, dementia, Parkinson's disease psychosis, borderline personality disorder, and in adolescent populations. 3) Discuss the clinical efficacy relative to the side effect profiles of the available novel antipsychotics.
