在本概述的第一部分中，作者回顾了使用维持性抗精神病药物预防性治疗精神分裂症的临床文献。在第二部分中，他回顾了有关锂和三环类药物维持治疗情感障碍的文献。他的结论是，人们日益认识到维持治疗对于预防双相情感障碍中的躁狂和抑郁症以及单相情感障碍中的抑郁症复发是必要的，这是精神科治疗中最重要的进展之一。维持治疗的有效性为情感障碍的真正预防性治疗提供了可能性。
In the first part of this overview the author reviewed the clinical literature on prophylactic treatment of schizophrenia with maintenance antipsychotic drugs. In this second part he reviews the literature on maintenance treatment of affective disorders with lithium and tricyclics. He concludes that the growing realization that maintenance treatment is necessary to prevent recurrences of both mania and depression in bipolar disease and depression in unipolar disease is one of the most important advances in psychiatric therapeutics. The effectiveness of maintenance treatment provides the potential for a truly preventive approach to the treatment of affective disorders.
