Abstract

The article focuses on new research regarding tardive dyskinesia (TD), a medication-induced movement disorder linked to long-term use of antipsychotics, particularly dopamine receptor-blocking agents. Conducted by the Department of Neurology in Terni, Italy, the research highlights that approximately 22% of patients treated with antipsychotics in Europe experience TD, with higher prevalence associated with older antipsychotic medications. The study emphasizes the lack of consensus on the diagnosis and management of TD in Europe, leading to potential misdiagnosis and undertreatment, and calls for evidence-based standards of care and further research to improve patient outcomes related to TD.
