Abstract
Of the various drug therapies, the antipsychotic medication is presenting some novel twists to old issues in law and psychiatry. From what is known, its benefits are high but so are its risks. To wit, the risk of tardive dyskinesia. Presented here for consideration are legal issues of standard of care, informed consent, the right of institutionalized patients to refuse treatment, statute of limitations, and causal nexus.
