Abstract:
Tardive syndrome (TS) is a movement disorder caused by long-term treatment with dopamine-blocking agents, posing a significant clinical challenge for psychiatrists. Lowering the antipsychotic dosage, switching antipsychotics, and combining a vesicular monoamine transporter-2 inhibitor often fail to adequately control both psychiatric and motor symptoms. Additionally, TS can manifest in different subtypes, such as tardive dystonia and tardive hyperkinesia, each requiring distinct treatment approaches. This article reports on the improvement observed in three cases of different TS subtypes treated with modified electroconvulsive therapy, aiming to provide new clinical insights for treating TS.
