In the 1950s, Stanley is most likely to have received a treatment of a newly introduced antipsychotic drug called chlorpromazine. This drug was found to have a relaxing and sedative effect on patients. Chlorpromazine is said to minimize the symptoms of schizophrenia by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain.
