Abstract
Centrally active antimuscarinic agents are generally used in psychiatry to treat the extrapyramidal side effects of antipsychotic medications. However, these agents may have antidepressant and mood-elevating properties, and the literature suggests they are liable to abuse. The author reviews this literature and discusses its implication.Keywords
