Abstract
Of a population of 518 outpatients, 18 fulfilled diagnostic criteria for tardive dyskinesia. None of these patients complained to their therapists of their symptoms, and 8 of them were not even aware of them. Of the unaware patients 5 were actively delusional or hallucinating. Since all 18 were chronic schizophrenics or neuroleptics, this group may not report their symptoms.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
