Summary
Brief summary
To investigate the 'estrogen-protection' hypothesis by comparing changes in psychotic symptoms between one group of patients receiving standard antipsychotic drug treatment plus placebo and a second matched group receiving standard antipsychotic drug treatment plus 100microgram estradiol patch in a double blind controlled trial. Hypothesis : That the women receiving adjunctive estradiol will demonstrate a more rapid and more substantial decrease in psychotic symptoms over the course of the study than the women receiving adjunctive placebo.
