Abstract

Neuroleptic-induced akathisia (NIA) and parkinsonism (NIP) continued for 3 months despite two courses of anticholinergic treatments, a shift to low-potent neuroleptic (NL) and a NL-free period. The two adverse effects responded dramatically to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) to reemerge 3 months after termination of ECT. The case supports the idea that ECT is effective for both NIA and NIP even when they are resistant.
