Distinguishing Tardive Dyskinesia From Drug-Induced Parkinsonism

Clinical Thought

It can be challenging to differentially diagnose drug-induced movement disorders. In particular, tardive dyskinesia (TD) is often confused with drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP). Although both are associated with dopamine blockade and antipsychotic medications, treatment approaches for the 2 differ significantly&mdash making accurate diagnosis a major importance. In this commentary, Stuart Isaacson, MD, discusses how to differentiate between TD and DIP to ensure the best treatment outcome.
