Why Do Antipsychotics Cause Tardive Dyskinesia? Antidepressants
Antipsychotics cause certain biochemical changes in the brain and disrupt the neuronal communication of dopamine resulting in neurological symptoms, such as tardive dyskinesia. Tardive dyskinesia is a neurological condition that results in abnormal movements (movement disorder), typically affecting the face, lips, jaw, or tongue that typically occurs after long-term use of antipsychotics (neuroleptics).

Crayfish and carp among the invasive species pushing lakes towards ecosystem collapse
Certain invasive, non-native species can disrupt lakes to the point of rapid ecosystem collapse, contaminating water for drinking, aquaculture and recreation, a new study has found. Human activity and climate change are causing invasive non-native species to spread rapidly across the globe. Researchers have found that certain invasive species can push lake ecosystems beyond a […]
