Yes, its a hard fact. Its a known fact that non psychotic individuals who take neuroleptics develop movement disorders such as TD and EPS more easily and more quickly than do schizophrenics. EPS is nothing more than a form of mild pseudu-parkinsons. Having EPS at some point in your life increases the odds you will develop motor control problems in older age, as youve screwed around with your dopamine receptors in a negative way.
Neuroleptics cause parkinsons...period. In non psychotics this increases ten fold.
