Hath LARAZNA, Body Stiffness & Bechaini? | Extrapyramidal Symptoms Explained #extrapyramidal #dralimuftipsychiatrist Hath Larazna, Body Stiffness & Bechaini? Extrapyramidal Symptoms (EPS) Explained | Prof Dr Ali Mufti PsychiatristHave you or a family member recently started a psychiatric medication and noticed sudden hand tremors, muscle stiffness, involuntary jaw/neck spasms, or an unbearable inner restlessness where you cannot sit still? These physical movement issues are known in psychiatry as Extrapyramidal Symptoms (EPS). In this video, we break down what causes EPS, how to recognize its different types, which medications trigger it, and the exact steps to manage these symptoms safely without stopping treatment abruptly.We analyze EPS step-by-step:"EPS Kya Hai? — Brain Se Body Tak" – The neurobiology of motor control. We explain how certain medications block dopamine $D_2$ receptors in the basal ganglia—the brain's motor control center. When dopamine signaling drops too low in these motor pathways, smooth muscle movements are disrupted, leading to physical stiffness, tremors, and involuntary contractions."EPS Ke Different Types — Symptoms Ko Pehchanein" – Identifying the 4 major clinical presentations:Acute Dystonia: Sudden, painful muscle spasms of the neck (torticollis), eyes (oculogyric crisis), or tongue, often occurring within hours or days of starting treatment.Akathisia: An intense, distressing feeling of inner restlessness that forces the person to pace or constantly shift their legs.Drug-Induced Parkinsonism: Muscle rigidity, hand tremors, slow movements (bradykinesia), and a shuffling gait that mimics Parkinson's disease.Tardive Dyskinesia (TD): Involuntary, repetitive movements of the lips, tongue, or face that can develop after long-term medication use."EPS Kin Medicines Se Ho Sakta Hai?" – Identifying high-risk medications. We outline which drugs are most commonly associated with EPS, including typical antipsychotics (like Haloperidol or Chlorpromazine), certain high-potency atypical antipsychotics (such as Risperidone), and non-psychiatric drugs like anti-nausea medications (Metoclopramide/Maxolon)."EPS Ho Jaye Toh Kya Karein?" – Clinical protocols and solutions. We explain how doctors manage EPS—whether by reducing the dosage, switching to a lower-risk atypical antipsychotic (like Clozapine or Quetiapine), or prescribing anticholinergic corrective medications (like Procyclidine or Trihexyphenidyl/Artane) to restore the dopamine-acetylcholine balance."Medicine Se Darna Nahi — Symptoms Ko Ignore Bhi Nahi Karna" – Patient safety and advocacy. We stress why patients should never panic or stop their psychiatric medication on their own, as abrupt withdrawal can trigger severe psychiatric relapses. Instead, communicating immediately with your treating psychiatrist ensures swift, effective relief.Subscribe to our channel for expert, evidence-backed medical education, prescription safety, and psychiatric wellness.Top 10 Hashtags:#ExtrapyramidalSymptoms#EPSSideEffects#ProfDrAliMufti#AntipsychoticSideEffects#AkathisiaUrdu#TremorAndStiffness#MentalHealthUrdu#PsychiatryUrdu#PrescriptionSafety#ZehniSehatVideo Timestamps :00:00 Intro: Recognizing Movement Side Effects from Psychiatric Medications 02:30 Neurobiology of EPS: How Dopamine $D_2$ Blockade Disrupts Basal Ganglia Control 06:25 The 4 Major Types: Dystonia, Akathisia, Parkinsonism, and Tardive Dyskinesia 06:25 High-Risk Drugs: Antipsychotics and Anti-Emetic Medications That Cause EPS 08:09 Medical Management: Dosage Adjustments, Switching Drugs, and Corrective Medicines 08:33 Patient Action Plan: Why You Must Consult Your Psychiatrist Without Stopping Medication MY OTHER SOCIALS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dralimuftip...
