Expert Opin Pharmacother. 2007 May;8(7):935-43. doi: 10.1517/14656566.8.7.935.

Abstract

Psychosis may be seen with several movement disorders. As pharmacological treatments can sometimes worsen movement disorders, psychosis in these situations can be complex for clinicians to manage. This review covers the management of psychosis in three different movement disorders: Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and Huntington's disease.
