comprising at least 5 percent by weight of an antipsychotic. In a method
aspect of the present invention, an antipsychotic is delivered to a mammal
through an inhalation route. The method comprises: a) heating a
composition, wherein the composition comprises at least 5 percent by
weight of an antipsychotic, to form a vapor; and, b) allowing the vapor to
cool, thereby forming a condensation aerosol comprising particles, which
is inhaled by the mammal. In a kit aspect of the present invention, a kit
for delivering an antipsychotic through an inhalation route to a mammal is
