Certain drugs have been investigated for use as serenics (specific anti-aggressive drugs). One such drug was eltoprazine which was said to be a specific treatment for aggression in animal models....... apparantly it was also anxiogenic in some tests so maybe it wasn't that specific after all! The development of eltoprazine has since been discontinued.
I was thinking about that fact that there appears to have been been little effort to design drugs to reduce aggression. Do you think that the development of serenics would be a useful advance in psychiatry or a dangerous method of social control?
