Abstract
The risk of neuroleptic-induced tardive dyskinesia (TD) in older patients is known to be high, yet the course of TD in older patients has not been systematically studied. We followed 69 middle-aged and elderly outpatients newly diagnosed with TD in a naturalistic, longitudinal, prospective fashion. Standardized assessment instruments were administered to measure psychopathology, cognitive impairment, and abnormal movements. We observed a highly fluctuating early course of TD. Although the cumulative proportion of patients whose TD partially remitted was quite high (56% at 3 months, and 80% at 6 months), the cumulative proportion of patients whose TD relapsed (post-remission) was also high (33% at 3 months and 54% at 6 months). These findings may have clinical as well as theoretical implications for TD in older subjects.
