First sentence: The modern era of drug treatment in psychiatry began half a century ago with the discovery in 1948 by John Cade, in Australia, of the use of lithium in mania (Mitchell et al, 1999), and by French scientists in 1952 of the use of the synthetic phenothiazine, chlorpromazine, as an antipsychotic.
