Answer:

Tardive dyskinesia

Explanation:

Tardive dyskinesia is a movement disorder characterized by uncontrolled facial movements, repetetitive tongue movements, chewing and sucking motions. It is caused by long-term use of neuroleptic drugs such as those that increase the brain's sensitivity to the neurotransmitter dopamine.  Decreasing the dosage or discontinuing the medication causing this dissorder may solve the patient problems or may worsen the symptoms.

There are several types of treatments for this dissorder such as changing medications or introducing new ones to the patient such as Ingrezza, Austedo, Botox, Clorazil or Klonopin but since some of this medications are know to cause Tardive dyskinesia as well, the patient's treatment must be adequated to his case.

What does the word love mean?
Alchen [17]


Love is a very contradictory word. It can mean many things, depending on how you look at it. Of course, I don't love my boyfriend the way I love my dog, but I do feel affection towards both of them. To me, love is when you have feelings for something or someone that you just can't describe. It is a wonderful thing.


Hope this helped!!! :)

Why do you think that dieting increases the likelihood of eating disorders in teenage girls?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Because for whatever reason, some women feel that they need to become as skinny as a pencil to be noticed. That, mixed with the uncertainty and hormonal unbalances of puberty, and they'll literally run themselves into the ground trying to reach the unattainable standard for beauty that society (mainly men) have set.

Why does working out make us feel good
Elis [28]

<em>why does working out make us feel good?</em>

<em />

That "feel good" chemical is known as Endorphins. They are released during exercise because of the body goes through extended amounts of stress when exercising. Have you ever heard of the "Runners high"? It's actually a real sensation that you can thank Endorphins for.

Serotonin is also an important chemical that contributes to why exercise feels this way. Have you ever felt depressed after sitting around and doing nothing? Low serotonin is one of the biggest contributors to feeling depressed. Serotonin is in alot of anti-depressant medications. Serotonin is mainly released through exercise.

There could be a reason not relating to chemicals at all. Working out and seeing the results gives us a major confidence boost.
