Specializes in Child Psychiatry

Akathisia: Movement: disorder: feeling of inner restlessness and compelling need to be in constant motion. Seek an evaluation to determine cause and/or differentiate from other conditions/contributors (such as RLS/Restless Leg Syndrome). Treatment includes eliminating or replacing the cause (such as a medication). There are medications that can counter the symptoms. Best regards for relief.
