METHOD: We undertook a chart review of adolescents and young adults (under age 25 years) seen by our specialized mental health team. RESULTS: Risperidone and olanzapine were by far the most frequently prescribed atypicals. Robust clinical effects were noted for both psychotic and nonpsychotic disorders. Most patients tolerated atypicals well, although a significant minority did experience neuroleptic induced movement disorders (NIMDs), particularly dystonias and dyskinesias. Female patients with DDs appear to be at particular risk of NIMDs. CONCLUSIONS: Atypicals are useful in treating various conditions associated with DDs. This population, however, seems particularly sensitive to NIMDs, hence caution and close monitoring are required. 2001 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context <a href="http://doi.org/10.1177/070674370104600807" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">10.1177/070674370104600807</a> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Article information provided for research and reference use only.
