Migration to developed countries is an aetiological factor for schizophrenia.4. Clozapine produces less sedation than typical antipsychotics.5. Clozapine produces less postural hypotension than typical antipsychotics.6. Typical antipsychotics produce long term D2 blockade.7. Leukoariosis in old age is seen in anxiety and depression.8.
