The benefit of minocycline on negative symptoms in schizophrenia: extent and mechanisms
Many drug treatments are effective in reducing psychotic symptoms in people with schizophrenia, but have little impact on so-called negative symptoms such as social withdrawal and loss of motivation. This multicentre, UK-wide study will focus on whether minocycline can reduce these negative symptoms, and if its effectiveness increases when given early in the course of illness.
