title: Drug-induced neuro-psychiatric disorders in medical practice--an overview.
abstract: Whenever an unexpected neuropsychiatric disorder arises suddenly in a person of good previous mental health after a new drug of any kind has been taken it is reasonable to suspect a drug-induced reaction. The suspected medication should then be stopped. Adverse reactions to drugs are known to account for a considerable amount of neuro-psychiatric disorder, which is likely to increase as new and more potent drugs are introduced into clinical practice.
