title: Movement disorders with neuroleptic drug treatment.
abstract: Antipsychotic drugs produce several neurologic complications including acute dyskinesia, parkinsonism, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, akathisia, and tardive dyskinesia. Despite increased awareness of these syndromes, they continue to be underdiagnosed among patients receiving antipsychotic drugs. The clinical features, possible pathophysiologic mechanisms, and treatment of these conditions are discussed in this review.
