Predictors of occurrence, severity, and course of tardive dyskinesia in an outpatient population

This paper summarizes the results of three different studies of tardive dyskinesia conducted within a single-source, outpatient population at the Connecticut Mental Health Center in New Haven. Emerging themes from this work suggest that prevalence, severity and course of tardive dyskinesia are influenced--probably in different ways--by treatment, psychiatric illness, and other personal characteristics.
