title: Psychiatric iatrogenic disorders.
abstract: Psychiatric iatrogenic disorders may be induced by drug therapy or by untoward developments in the patient-physician relationship. Physicians who are familiar with the adverse effects of prescribed medications may be able to prevent such drug-related iatrogenic disorders as tardive dyskinesia, the neuroleptic malignant syndrome, sudden death and drug dependence. Awareness of problems that may arise in the physician-patient relationship may prevent such outcomes as suicide, anxiety, hypochondriasis, invalidism and psychotic symptoms.
