Neuroleptics were some of the first effective drugs for treating psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations and delusions, in the middle of the 20th century. The development of chlorpromazine, an early neuroleptic, in the 1950s revolutionized the treatment of schizophrenia and paved the way for other antipsychotic medications to be developed. Benzodiazepines were not initially used to treat depression but rather anxiety, and they were not developed until the 1960s. Bromides and opium were used for sedation in the earlier part of the 20th century but were not effective treatments for psychological disorders. Insulin was used as a treatment for schizophrenia in the 1930s, but it was not very effective and fell out of favor. Neuroleptics, on the other hand, have remained an important class of drugs for the treatment of psychotic symptoms to this day.
