  • Title: Tardive dyskinesia in the mentally retarded: comparison of prevalence, risk factors and topography with a schizophrenic population.
    Author: Cohen S, Khan A, Zheng Y, Chiles J.
    Journal: Acta Psychiatr Scand; 1991 Mar; 83(3):234-7. PubMed ID: 1674398.
    Abstract:
    Thirty mentally retarded patients treated with neuroleptics for aberrant behavior were compared with 30 neuroleptic-treated schizophrenics for the presence, topography and risk factors associated with tardive dyskinesia (TD). In the total sample (n = 60), female sex, schizophrenic diagnosis and increasing age were associated with TD. The length of neuroleptic treatment and current neuroleptic dose were not significantly associated with TD. The only topographical difference in TD presentation was that the mentally retarded group had significantly more tongue involvement.
