schizophrenia. Schizophrenia in a study shows the effect of drugs aiding schizophrenia
patients.
As the drug is introduced into the body system, there are major symptoms lightened

allows schizophrenia patients to live an ordinary life. FDA approves the antipsychotic drugs,
and there are symptoms, the leading symptoms allow the patients to the capability to live an
ordinary life with the aid of psychiatric drugs (Levinthal, 2015).
Describe and elaborate on the present day concerns about gammahydroxybutyrate(GHB)

houses when having a drink. It emphasized on the capability to yield euphoria, an out of body
product in large quantities in conjunction with dropping the body hang-ups.
The amalgamation of GHB and liquor can lead to insentience in about fifteen to
twenty minutes or less thus causing amnesia in the understanding (Levinthal, 2015).GHB is

without anybody noticing. With the consideration of much media and the women being the
target, in response to these, there has been formulated rules such as watching pours of drinks,
no sharing of drinks with the strangers and never leave drinks unattended.
