Psychotropic prescribing was surveyed over an 18-year period in an intellectual disability hospital between 1972 and 1990. The article looks at the number of inpatients in the hospital, the numbers receiving psychotropic drugs, and the percentage of the population receiving neuroleptics and lithium. Concludes that the changes in prescribing may be partly related to the increased proportion of individuals with more severe psychiatric symptomatology in the population.

The management of disturbed behaviour in facilities for those with learning disabilities involves a spectrum of approaches including the prescription of emergency medication, restraint and seclusion. The use of these techniques has recently come under close scrutiny. All incidents requiring emergency medication or seclusion that occurred in a large hospital for those with learning disabilities were studied over a six-month period. The precipitating factors, course and outcome of those who had received emergency medication or seclusion were then examined. Concludes that despite concerns about the use of seclusion, the results of this survey suggest that procedures that remove the patients from the environment contributing to the disturbance may have certain advantages in this population.
