Tardive dyskinesia frequently occur during neuroleptic-treatments. Prevalence and risk factors, clinical characteristics, relation to other extrapyramidal disorders are reviewed. The presumed pathophysiology is that tardive dyskinesia are caused by a neuroleptic-induced dopamine receptor hypersensitivity. Several trials of treatment are compared with respect to this hypothesis.
