Thioxanthenes are used in the treatment of psychosis, including schizophrenia, senile psychosis, pathological jealousy, and borderline personality disorder. Other uses include the treatment of pain, postoperative neuralgia, sedation, anxiety neurosis, childhood behavior problems, and depression. The maximum therapeutic daily oral dose for chlorprothixene, flupenthixol, and thiothixene is 600, 224, and 60 mg respectively the maximum intramuscular dose of each is 200 mg day 100 mg weekly, and 30 mg dayrespectively. Some thioxanthenes and thioxanthenones have shown signs in mice and in vitro assays of possible human therapeutic potential against tumors, and some thioxanthenes have been shown to have cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities.

In the 1970s, Feingold proposed that food additives, especially colors and flavors, caused hyperactivity and other childhood behavior disorders. He further claimed that instituting a special diet lacking these substances would treat the conditions (Feingold 1974, 1975a, 1975b, 1976, 1978, 1982).

Clearly, there is no childhood behavior that a psychiatrist could not place in one of these categories. To classify as pathological academic performance that is under-achievement, over-achievement, or erratic performance would be humorous were it not tragic. When we are told that if a psychiatric patient is early for his appointment he is anxious, if late he is hostile, and if on time, compulsive—we laugh, because it is supposed to be a joke. But here we are told the same thing in all seriousness.
