Abstract. Akathisia is one of the most prevalent antipsychotic-induced adverse events and causes severe distress in those who experience it. It is characterized by objective and subjective psychomotor restlessness. Usually classified under the great umbrella of extrapyramidal symptoms; however, it has its own clinical peculiarities, which might represent a challenge for the clinician in diagnosis as well as specific management. This review synthesizes the information available to date on antipsychotic-induced akathisia and offers the clinician recommendations to prevent, recognize and treat this prevalent complication of one of the most widely prescribed psychotropic medications today.
