Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queriesI can understand your concern. She has some mental disorder and is currently showing symptoms like shakiness, twitching of body, abnormal movements, inability to sit still etc. These symptoms should not be ignored. These could be occurring due to drug induced movement side effects. EPS or Extra Pyramidal Syndrome is common complication of medicines used in mental disorders especially first generation antipsychotic drugs. The symptoms like inability of hold still, twitching, uncontrollable shaking could be occurring due to parkinsonian like tremors due to drug side effects. Please enquire if she is taking some medicines. If the medicines are antipsychotics then take her to a psychiatrist and get her evaluated. Drugs like THP or tryhexyphenidyl, benzotropin etc are used in EPS for treatment. Visit a psychiatrist for prescription of these drugs.Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
