Abstract

Tardive dyskinesia is a neurological disorder characterised by involuntary and purposeless movements affecting any part of the body. These movements typically occur in the oro-facial area and the patient is usually unaware of them. There are inconsistent findings in the literature on the risk factors for developing tardive dyskinesia. Nevertheless, previous reports indicate that tardive dyskinesia is more common in female patients, patients with a history of alcohol and substance misuse, affective disorders, and intellectual disability. The dose, class and duration of antipsychotic nmedication may also be independent risk factors. We report on the case of a patient who developed tardive dyskinesia on a low dose of the second generation antipsychotic risperidone.
