Abstract

The article focuses on a study examining neurological adverse effects (NAEs) associated with antipsychotic medications in children and young people (CYP). Conducted by researchers from the East London NHS Foundation Trust, the review highlights that while NAEs are commonly reported, there is limited research specifically addressing the risks in CYP. The study notes that common effects include akathisia, dystonia, and parkinsonism, with less frequent occurrences of tardive dyskinesia. The authors emphasize the need for future research, particularly self-controlled studies, to better understand the incidence and risk factors for NAEs in this population.
