Jack Torrance is a writer and a recovering alcoholic. After losing his job he becomes the winter caretaker at the Overlook Hotel, up in
the secluded mountains of Colorado.The manager of the hotel warns Jack about the last caretaker Delbert Grady, who murdered his family due to cabin fever. Jack takes his wife (Wendy) and son (Danny) to the hotel to keep him company throughout the long and isolated nights. Danny has a pyschic power known as "The Shining" which allows him to foretell the future and see the past. The head chef Dick Halloran possesses the same power too and warns Danny about the hotel. At first it seems like the perfect job but as the winter closes in and the blizzards cut them of strange things begin to occur. Danny begins to see gruesome and disturbing visions of the hotels past and what's to come. Eventually his visions grow frighteningly out of control. The hotel is meant to be vacant but who is the lady in Room 237? And who are the masked guests in the Gold Room? Jack gradually develops writers block and psychosis and starts to have hallucinations and eventually having a complete mental breakdown. Along with writer's block the demons of the hotel begin to haunt him and when he meets the spirit of Delbert Grady who tells him to "correct" his family, the situation takes a sinister turn for the worse. Somewhere, somehow there is an evil force in the hotel - and that too is beginning to shine...

(November 2008) Increased Risk of Death in Elderly Patients Taking Conventional Antipsychotics for Dementia --
FDA is requiring that "conventional" antipsychotic drugs carry a boxed warning stating that these drugs increase the risk of death when they are used to treat dementia-related psychosis in elderly patients. This category includes such drugs as Haldol (haloperidol) and Prolixin (fluphenazine). A similar warning was added to "atypical" antipsychotic drugs in 2005. Atypicals include such drugs as Zyprexa (olanzapine), Seroquel (quetiapine) and Risperdal (risperidone).
Both conventional and atypical antipsychotics are approved to treat schizophrenia, but neither type is approved for dementia-related psychosis. FDA is reminding physicians that antipsychotic drugs are not indicated for this condition, and that elderly patients treated with antipsychotics are at increased risk of death.
At this time there is no approved drug to treat dementia-related psychosis, and FDA advises healthcare professionals to consider other options to manage these patients. Physicians who prescribe antipsychotics for elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis should discuss the increased risk of death with the patient, the patient's family, and caregivers.
