Abstract：Objective To observe the alteration of clinical application of psychotropic drug therapy in recent three years.Methods We used one day time point survey to investigate pharmacotherapy status of 1371 inpatient mental disorder patients at Shanghai Mental Health Center(Minhang campus).Results ① The use of typical antipsychotics was stable; among atypical antipsychotics,the use of risperidone was decreased from 21.1％ in 2011 to 17.1％ in 2013,while the use of aripiprazole was increased from 11.2％ in 2011 to 14.9％ in 2013.② Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors(SSRI) was still the first choice among antidepressant agents(61.5％),while the new antidepressant mirtazapine dosage was increased year by year.③ Zopiclone became the top-rank medicine among the sedative-hypnotic.Conclusions The use of new drugs is increasing year by year.Diversity and safety have now become the trend in the selection of antipsychotics.
