Methods. A computerized search on Pubmed from 1980 to 2006 was carried out and all articles evaluated and graded on NICE guidelines. Results and conclusions. Currently evaluated and accepted medications only bring about a reduction in the deteriorating course. A combination of pharmacotherapy and psychosocial management is the need of the hour.
