The Importance of Treating Dystonia Emergency Patients

There are a few kind of dystonia emergencies, right? So one is a drug-induced acute dystonic reaction. Then there's something called daddis dystonicus or a dystonic storm that patients with underlying dystonia can go into horrendous dystonia. And then the third thing that I'd like to mention is that if their anti-dopamine medication, like their anti-psychotic, for example, is stopped abruptly, they can have an acute worsening of their Tardive Dystonia. What is going on with the dopamine? It's a little complicated.
