Unknown origins of symptomology

Posted by Whitney and Beth on April 6, 2000, at 14:42:08

We are working with a 9 year old boy who has been sexually and physically abused. There is a history of depressive disorders in the family. The child was recently prescribed Resperidol and Clonidine. He has, in the past, been on Adderal, Ritalin, Paxil and probably others. He has recently begun very vigorous (to the point of drawing blood) nose-picking, licking his lips and his hands to the point that they are very dry and cracked and bloody. Is this a neuroleptic-induced tardive dyskinesia?
