Abstract

It would appear that the incidence and severity of Parkinsonism in this age group is so high that trifluoperazine should be used very cautiously. Occurrence of 1 very dramatic recovery and 3 cases of gratifying improvement suggest that trifluoperazine may be useful in cases of chronic depression resistant to more usual therapies.
