Definition: The schizophrenic disorders are characterized in general by fundamental and characteristic distortions of thinking and perception, and affects that are inappropriate or blunted. Clear consciousness and intellectual capacity are usually maintained although certain cognitive deficits may evolve in the course of time. The most important psychopathological phenomena include thought echo; thought insertion or withdrawal; thought broadcasting; delusional perception and delusions of control; influence or passivity; hallucinatory voices commenting or discussing the patient in the third person; thought disorders and negative sym ...[+++]ptoms. The course of schizophrenic disorders can be either continuous, or episodic with progressive or stable deficit, or there can be one or more episodes with complete or incomplete remission. The diagnosis of schizophrenia should not be made in the presence of extensive depressive or manic symptoms unless it is clear that schizophrenic symptoms antedate the affective disturbance. Nor should schizophrenia be diagnosed in the presence of overt brain disease or during states of drug intoxication or withdrawal. Similar disorders developing in the presence of epilepsy or other brain disease should be classified under F06.2, and those induced by psychoactive substances under F10-F19 with common fourth character .5.

Much of the earlier development of Canadian drug policy has been well documented in research and writing (Blackwell & Erickson, 1988; Giffen, Endicott & Lambert, 1991).

Although he was not able to obtain detailed changes in the Act, despite many attempts, the constant pressure and intimidation exerted by Colonel Sharman on doctors nevertheless succeeded in achieving significant changes in prescribing practices, which meant that these were now more closely monitored (Giffen et al.:1991).

Giffen et al. feel that this clearly shows the power the Drugs Division had in its ability to encroach upon the professional judgment of doctors in the first half of this century.

In the early part of the century, a distinction was made between two main types of drug consumption: on the one hand, there were the Chinese on the west coast of Canada and their specific habit of smoking opium and, on the other hand, there was widespread use of patent medicines among the Canadian public and, according to the authors consulted (Murray 1988, Giffen et al. 1991, Mitchell 1990, Small, 1978, Solomon and Madison, 1976), the latter caused many more health problems than the use of opium by the Chinese.
