Abstract
The treatment of schizophrenic psychoses with antipsychotic drugs (AP) is often associated with an increased risk of delayed occurrence of antipsychotic-associated movement disorders. Persistence and chronicity of such symptoms are very frequent. The risk of developing tardive dyskinesia (TD) is associated with the pharmacological effect profile of a particular AP, with treatment duration and age. This systematic review article summarizes the current study situation on prevalence, risk factors, prevention and treatment options and instruments for early prediction of TD in schizophrenic psychoses. The current data situation on treatment strategies for TD is very heterogeneous. For the treatment of TD there is preliminary evidence for reduction or discontinuation of the AP, switching to clozapine, administration of benzodiazepines (clonazepam) and treatment with vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT2) inhibitors, ginkgo biloba, amantadine or vitamin E. Although TD can be precisely diagnosed it cannot always be effectively treated. Early detection and early treatment of TD can have a favorable influence on the prognosis and the clinical outcome.

Abstract
In rare cases, pharmacotherapy in schizophrenic psychoses can be associated with life-threatening antipsychotic-induced movement disorders. The two most severe complications are antipsychotic-associated catatonic symptoms (ACS) and neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). Although both constellations necessitate rapid medical care, the diagnosis is still a clinical challenge. Although there is no established treatment of ACS (here designated as a specific subtype of catatonic symptoms), an attempt should be made with benzodiazepines and memantine can also be helpful. In severe drug-refractory cases electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) can be indicated. The NMS represents a life-threatening constellation that frequently requires intensive care unit treatment. The medicinal treatment with benzodiazepines, bromocriptine, amantadine, dantrolene and/or ECT is also advocated. Finally, this review article also summarizes the currently available literature for treatment of genuine catatonic symptoms. In conclusion, the abovementioned clinical syndromes must be rapidly recognized and treated. Early recognition and treatment of these movement disorders can under certain circumstances be lifesaving and favorably influence the later clinical outcome.

Abstract
Acute antipsychotic-induced movement disorders (AIMD) are clinically relevant since they are frequently associated with high subjective distress, and since over the long-term they can negatively impact treatment adherence of patients with schizophrenic psychoses. This review article summarizes the relevant studies on the prevalence, risk factors, prevention and treatment options and instruments for early prediction of acute AIMD in schizophrenic psychoses. The current evidence and treatment recommendations are divided into three main areas: acute dystonia, akathisia, and parkinsonism. For the treatment of acute dystonia trihexyphenidyl and biperiden have shown their efficacy. Considering pharmacological treatment of akathisia, there is some preliminary evidence for medication with lipophilic beta-receptor blockers (propranolol and pindolol), clonidine, benzodiazepines, mianserin, mirtazapine und trazodone. The treatment options for drug-induced parkinsonism include reduction or switching from one antipsychotic to another with a lower affinity for dopamine D2 receptors, amantadine or in the regular administration of anticholinergic drugs. In conclusion, acute AIMD is easily to recognize but is not always effectively and durably treated. Early recognition and treatment of acute AIMD could be associated with improved treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Although genuine motor abnormalities (GMA) are frequently found in schizophrenia, they are also considered as an intrinsic feature of bipolar, obsessive-compulsive, and neurodevelopmental disorders with early onset such as autism, ADHD, and Tourette syndrome. Such transnosological observations strongly suggest a common neural pathophysiology. This systematic review highlights the evidence on GMA and their neuroanatomical substrates in bipolar, obsessive-compulsive, and neurodevelopmental disorders. The data lends support for a common pattern contributing to GMA expression in these diseases that seems to be related to cerebello-thalamo-cortical, fronto-parietal, and cortico-subcortical motor circuit dysfunction. The identified studies provide first evidence for a motor network dysfunction as a correlate of early neurodevelopmental deviance prior to clinical symptom expression. There are also first hints for a developmental risk factor model of these mental disorders. An in-depth analysis of motor networks and related patho-(physiological) mechanisms will not only help promoting Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) Motor System construct, but also facilitate the development of novel psychopharmacological models, as well as the identification of neurobiologically plausible target sites for non-invasive brain stimulation.
