Hi Vwoolf,
Someone once came up with the idea that schizophrenia and epilepsy never occur together (this is now known to be completely untrue!) As a result, it was thought that inducing seizures in people with schizophrenia would eliminate their psychosis. After Metrazol was used in schizophrenia, psychiatrists started trying it in people with other mental health problems.
Regards,
Ed.
