title: Drug-induced extrapyramidal disorders - a neuropsychiatric interface.
abstract: In psychiatric literature, the term extrapyramidal syndrome has traditionally encompassed a wide variety of drug-induced movement disorders. Recently, it has become increasingly clear that the natural history, pathophysiology, and pharmacology of individual movement disorders are distinct, making this unifying term obsolete and, in fact, a source of confusion. The topic of drug-induced movement disorders is reviewed, and a classification system based on anatomy, pharmacology, and therapeutic considerations is discussed.
