Most Cases of Tardive Dyskinesia are Permanent
Only one out eight patients, out of 108 with tardive dyskinesia, recovered from the disorder in an Emory University Movement Disorders Clinic study. The finding was lower than has previously been reported, said Deepti Zutshi, MD, of Emory, who presented results of the single-center study at the American Academy of Neurology's annual meeting.

This is terrible.
Since I am not into the moral relativism of psychiatry and much of society today, I say this is EVIL!! To say these poison killer drugs should be given to any human being with the worst bogus stigmas given for that purpose is psychopathic in the extreme!! See books, WITHOUT CONSCIENCE and SNAKES IN SUITS by Dr. Robert Hare, the world’s foremost authority on psychopaths to see how supposed humans can act more like intraspecies predators!
More evidence that psychiatry with its brain damaging treatments justified by bogus stigmas should be abolished as with ECT, another barbaric way to damage one’s brain by falsely accusing them of being “mentally ill” for having life crises or being abused or bullied. Talk about the worst type of betrayal and cowardice to assault someone at their most vulnerable time as below with ECT.

As soon as I got to check the long-term side-effects of haldol (i.e. when I was discharged from Bootham psychiatric hospital in York, England)I realised I had no choice other than to stop taking this evil toxin. I think that Jean-Paul, the guardian angel who was helping me come to terms with my psychosis, must have prompted me to take action that would ensure my future good health. Whether I’d be labelled as a schizophrenic or bipolar diesn’t really interest me now, after 12 years free of all medication.If it does exist as a condition, as far as I’m concerned,it’s very much a part of my selfhood, and I’ve effectively subsumed it into my updated identity. I like the African approach: let the mania burn itself out – it’s the body’s way of curing itself. All you need is sleep, rest and decent food for a month, and recovery is assured! (IMHO)
Regarding dopamine receptors in the human brain.
Did you see 60 Minutes last night?
“Dr. Nora Volkow, head of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, has revolutionized how science and medicine view addiction: as a disease, not a character defect. Morley Safer reports.”
They were talking about ” dopamine response in an addict’s brain” and I was wondering if they would apply this research to legal psychiatric drugs that affect the same dopamine receptors.
Why can’t the patient get better? Maybe its the drug addiction you gave them doctor.
