Drug-induced movement disorders could be classified into acute, subacute, and chronic based on the time of occurrence. Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is one of the most frequent long-term drug-induced movement disorders. Delay in treatment often caused TD to be irreversible. In this review, we will discuss TD in-depth to enhance clinician knowledge regarding the diagnosis, prevention, and comprehensive management of patients with TD. Keywords: tardive dyskinesia, movement, disorder, antipsychotic.

Tardive syndromes are drug-induced hyperkinetic movement disorders that occur as a consequence of dopamine D2 receptor antagonism/blockade. There are several types, including classical tardive dyskinesia, tardive dystonia, tardive tics, tardive myoclonus, and tardive tremor, and it is important to the management of these disorders that the type of movement disorder induced is identified. Tardive syndromes can occur with all antipsychotic drugs, including so-called atypical drugs. Patients taking these drugs should be evaluated frequently for side effects. Evaluating the nature of the movement (i.e., chorea or dystonia) is important because treatment options can differ according to the type of dyskinesia present.

Background:Abnormal movements are frequently associated with psychiatric disorders. Optimized management and diagnosis of these movements depends on correct labeling. However, there is evidence of reduced accuracy in the labeling of these movements, which could result in sub-optimal care.Objective:To determine the consensus inter-rater reliability between a movement disorders neurologist and physicians referring from the community for phenomenology and diagnoses of individuals with co-existing psychiatric conditions and movement disorders.Method:Charts of all consecutive patients seen in a combined Movement Disorders and Neuropsychiatry Clinic between 2001-2009 were reviewed retrospectively. Consensus estimates and kappa values for inter-rater reliability were determined for phenomenology and diagnostic terms for the respective referring source and movement disorders neurologist for each patient.Results:A total of 106 charts were reviewed (62 men and 44 women). Agreement for phenomenology terms ranged from 0% (psychogenic) to 73% (tremor). Only 3 terms had kappa values that met or exceeded criteria for moderate inter-rater reliability. Agreement for diagnosis terms was highest for tardive dyskinesia (83%), drug induced tremor (33%), and drug induced parkinsonism (20%). In 18 of the 22 charts (82%), a diagnosis was made of drug induced movement disorder (DIMD) by the referring physician. In contrast, a diagnosis of DIMD was made in only 54 of 106 charts (51%) after the patients were assessed in the clinic.Conclusions:A movement disorders specialist frequently disagreed with referring physicians' identification of patient phenomenology and diagnosis. This suggests that clinicians would benefit from educational resources to assist in characterizing abnormal movements.

ABSTRACTTardive dyskinesia (TD) is a potentially irreversible drug-induced movement disorder associated with prolonged administration of antipsychotics. Conventionally, first generation antipsychotics were the agents thought to have a higher risk of TD as compared to second and third generation antipsychotics. Aripiprazole is a third generation antipsychotic with a novel mechanism of action, and until recently, cases of drug-induced movement disorders were less well known with it. But off late, several cases of TD with aripiprazole have been reported. We present here a case of middle-aged women with preexisting tardive movements, which exacerbated with aripiprazole use and reduced in frequency and intensity on withdrawal of the drug.

The demography, psychiatric morbidity, and motor consequences of long-term neuroleptic treatment in the 14 children born to a father with a family history of chronic psychiatric illness and a mother with a late-onset affective disorder resulting in suicide are documented. Twelve siblings lived to adulthood, nine of whom were admitted to a psychiatric hospital in their second or third decade, and required continuous in-patient care; five remaining in hospital, with long-term exposure to neuroleptics, had chroniC., deteriorating, schizophrenic illness and emergence of movement disorder. Two siblings showed no evidence of psychosis but developed a late-onset affective disorder. The implications for the issues of homotypia, vulnerability to involuntary movements, and interaction with affective disorder are discussed.

SummaryHyperkinetic movement disorders may occur as side effects of antipsychotic drugs; and a hyperdopaminergic state induced by the neuroleptic compounds is thought to be a cause of extrapyramidal disorders such as tardive dyskinesia. We have observed two cases of the dyskinetic syndrome in patients receiving tricyclic antidepressants (TCA). Because the TCA are known to have little effect on striatal dopamine but do share with the neuroleptics potent anticholinergic activity, these cases appear to support the hypothesis that the drug-induced hyperkinetic disorders are related to a diminution of CNS acetylcholine activity as well as to an increase in dopamine activity.

Dopamine receptor-blocking antipsychotics, first introduced into clinical practice in 1952, were hailed as a panacea in the treatment of a number of psychiatric disorders. However, within 5 years, this notion was to be shattered by the recognition of both acute and chronic drug-induced movement disorders which can accompany their administration. Tardive syndromes, denoting the delayed onset of movement disorders following administration of dopamine receptor-blocking (and also other) drugs, have diverse manifestations ranging from the classic oro-bucco-lingual dyskinesia, through dystonic craniocervical and trunk posturing, to abnormal breathing patterns. Although tardive syndromes have been an important part of movement disorder clinical practice for over 60 years, their pathophysiologic basis remains poorly understood and the optimal treatment approach remains unclear. This review summarises the current knowledge relating to these syndromes and provides clinicians with pragmatic, clinically focused guidance to their management.
