Customer Reviews

Helpful and informative

I have Tardive Dyskinesia (a condition that causes uncontrollable muscle movements and is caused by certain medications). It took several years and many Doctors before I finally got a proper diagnosis and once I did I had a hard time finding information about it. While this book is older it contains a LOT of information that is helpful and current. The only "problem" with it is that it was written by Doctors for Doctors, so it's a little hard to follow all the medical terminology. But if you are curious to know more I highly recommend it.
