Tardive dyskinesia is usually observed after long-term administration of neuroleptics. During treatment of Parkinson's disease with L-DOPA, neurological manifestations similar to tardive dyskinesia can be observed. Agents decreasing dopaminergic activity, such as various antidopaminergic drugs and brain amine-depleting agents like tetrabenazine and reserpine, have been shown to have some beneficial effect on tardive dyskinesia, thus indicating the critical role of dopamine receptors in the pathogenesis of this neurological side effect (1,7,11-14). L-DOPAinduced dyskinesias can also be controlled by the administration of antidopaminergic drugs such as the neuroleptics (5,10).","PeriodicalId":9551,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Psychiatric Association journal","volume":"23 1","pages":"68-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/070674377802300119","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11421292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main diagnostic technique described is the use of sodium amytal given intravenously over a 45 minute-period while the patient is examined physically and psychologically; his responses noted during light, midrange and deeper levels of sodium amytal sedation. Most patients fell comfortably into one of the following diagnostic groups: psychogenic regional pain, organic pain, mixed group (organic plus psychogenic regional pain), and malingering.

It is an accepted therapeutic principle, applying to all branches of Medicine and not only to Psychiatry, that treatment cannot be dissociated from the environment where the disease developed, or the social matrix that contributes to pathogenesis. Psychiatric conditions are, more than any other conditions, usually and closely related to social circumstances. They cannot be treated in a social vacuum. Thus, when it comes to Psychiatry, the therapeutics principle becomes practically a dogma; no psychiatric condition could be treated without a thorough knowledge and possibly the manipulation of contributing social stressors. This cannot be done in a closed system while the system itself feeds the pathology, if not produces it.
