Treatment of schizophrenia with insulin shock

Abstract

Berze concludes that the treatment of known cases of schizophrenia with insulin can be considered indicative. Berze finds the systematic treatment of schizophrenia by insulin shock suggested by Sackel, which consists in provoking by single large doses of insulin deep hypoglycemia, accompanied by very severe phenomena of shock, which are unsafe for the health of patients and, in the event, can lead to death, strictly contraindicated.
