Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phenothiazines are primarily used to treat the positive symptoms (hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech) of schizophrenia. They can also be used to treat bipolar disorder, but their usage is often limited due to the risk of inducing manic episodes. Phenothiazines are not typically used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder or dissociative fugue.
