However, in 1994, we published an article "Clozapine in the Elderly" in the Journal ofGeriatric Psychiatry and Neurology. Our article described theuse of clozapine in eight patients, aged 68 to 80 years, who hada variety of diagnoses, including one patient with Parkinson’s dementia and patients with schizophrenia, depression, and dementiawith depression.
