Back cover:

Partial compliance: a hidden danger in schizophrenia.  Partial 
compliance can lead to serious consequences.  Don't wait to take action!

Look for the following risk factors:
	a history of relapse and rehospitalization
	poor insight
	disorganized thinking
	cognitive impairment
	delusional ideas or beliefs, such as thinking that medication is poison
	a history of drug or alcohol abuse
	a tendency to discontinue medication when feeling better

Centerfold:

RisperdalConsta - risperidone long-acting injection
Help keep them on solid footing - 2 weeks at a time
Risperdal Consta, while not guaranteeing compliance, allows you to 
recognize and intervene when a patient misses a dose

The ad also notes that elderly patients with dementia-related 
psychosis treated with atypical antipsychotics are at an increased 
risk of death compared to placebo.
