Thank you!! This was encouraging. My daughter developed Akathisia after a few doses of a 2nd generation antipsychotic. Over a year later and this " side effect" is still effecting our lives tremendously. Although Akathisia is slightly different from TD it is still horrific and life altering. I'm encouraged by his humanity and his courage. I'm also encouraged that these treatments could lead to possible prevention and treatment of all movement disorders. For the sake of all those suffering, I pray!!!

This psychiatrist seems like a wonderful man. A true advocate for his patients’ dignity and rights. Bravo!
