Which of the following best describes dystonia?

A. Restlessness and unable to sit still. This describes akathisia, a movement disorder characterized by an intense feeling of restlessness, often seen as a side effect of antipsychotic medications. B. Muscle spasms on the face, eyes, neck, and tongue. Dystonia is characterized by sudden, involuntary muscle contractions, often affecting the face, neck (torticollis), eyes (oculogyric crisis), tongue, and jaw. It is a common extrapyramidal side effect (EPS) of antipsychotic medications, particularly first-generation antipsychotics. C. Tongue rolling and lip smacking. These are hallmark symptoms of tardive dyskinesia, a late-onset movement disorder caused by long-term use of dopamine-blocking agents. It involves involuntary, repetitive movements of the mouth, face, and limbs. D. Tremors at rest, bradykinesia, and shuffling gait. These symptoms are characteristic of Parkinsonism, an extrapyramidal side effect of dopamine-blocking medications. It mimics Parkinson’s disease and includes rigidity, tremors, and slow movements.
