The Comparative Efficacy of Therapy with Typical and Atypical Antipsychotics

Abstract

In 2021, the authors published a literature review highlighting the comparative efficacy of typical and atypical antipsychotics. The review reflected the progress of a review of the differences between first- and second-generation antipsychotics. It was initiated by the publication of a series of studies using meta-analysis. Since the publication of that review, the issue has been widely reported in the Western literature on the basis of new studies on the issue and the debate surrounding them, making a further synthesis of relevant new data necessary.
