To avoid the unpredictable devastating side effects of neuroleptics especially antipsychotics to patients with psychiatric diseases.
Perspectives
I think this updated review work will help psychiatrists to choose right agent (agents) to different categories of psychiatry patients. It will also help other care givers in neurology and psychiatry about the diagnosis and management of neuroleptic malignant syndrome, because this problem (NMS) can happen with any antipsychotic agent.
