Abstract
The currently available antipsychotic agents virtually all carry some risk of inducing early or late neurologic toxic effects. Their mechanism of action is discussed in part 1, which begins on page 108. Most of the side effects can be managed with antiparkinsonism agents or by thoughtful and conservative use of the available neuroleptics. The more troublesome of these side effects represent a unique constellation of syndromes not associated with other psychotropic agents.Keywords
