Akathisia or acathisia is a movement disorder that may be a side effect of certain drugs that are often prescribed for people with bipolar disorder. This side effect is often not properly recognized and is a kind of subtle response when taking certain kinds of drugs that are designed to treat psychiatric disorders.
People with akathisia are unable to sit or keep still, complain of restlessness, fidget, rock from foot to foot, and pace. The term was coined by the Czech neuropsychiatrist Ladislav HaÅ¡kovec (1866â1944), who described the phenomenon in 1901.
