TREATMENT OF STEREOTYPIC, SELF-INJURIOUS AND COMPULSIVE BEHAVIORS USING SPECIFIC SEROTONIN REUPTAKE INHIBITORS AND ANTAGONISTS OF NMDA RECEPTORS

摘要

A combination of a specific serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and an NMDA receptor antagonist can be used in methods of treatment, for reducing the frequency of stereotypic behaviors in animals and for reducing the frequency of analogous compulsive behaviors in humans, for example, those that have been said to be a manifestation of, or related to, obsessive-compulsive disorder.
