Reviews

'Medication-Induced Movement Disorders is a must-read book for psychiatrists and neurologists who often prescribe medications associated with these syndromes and/or who frequently assess patients with abnormal movements. In addition, this is an excellent reference book for trainees, general practitioners, emergency department physicians, and subspecialists to improve their effectiveness at prescribing medication, as well as their awareness of the early signs and symptoms of these syndromes, to minimize the exacerbation of these symptoms due to the adverse effects of medication.'
