Case Details
A 45 year-old man became depressed after being diagnosed with kidney disease. His doctor improperly prescribed Trilafon, an anti-psychotic medication, over a period of 15 years. The man began to have difficulty walking, involuntarily bending forward. He was diagnosed with tardive dyskinesia, a disorder characterized by involuntary twisting of the torso, arms and hands, and a variety of facial movements and tics. As early as 1975 certain anti-psychotic medications had been causally linked to the development of this permanent disorder.
