The lifetime outcome and involuntary movements of schizophrenia never treated with neuroleptic drugs. Four rare cases in Ireland.
Four elderly schizophrenic patients who had never been treated with neuroleptics, and a fifth patient who had received only the briefest exposure to such drugs, had retained their distinct clinical characteristics. Involuntary orofacial movements and cognitive dysfunction were found more uniformly than any particular pattern of symptoms.
