Forty-three patients with psychotic disorders were selected randomly from private clinic. The duration of their illness varied from two years to twenty years. CBZ started [after two weeks wash out from other antipsychotic medications] in increasing doses from 100- 600mg daily. The outcome of this study depends on the diagnosis and the duration of the psychotic illness, the shorter the duration the better the results.
