Symptoms of which condition may persist indefinitely after the discontinuation of antipsychotic medications?

  1. Tardive dyskinesia

  2. General Anxiety Disorder

  3. Increased physical strength

  4. Improved mental acuity

The correct answer is: Tardive dyskinesia

Symptoms of tardive dyskinesia, such as involuntary movements of the face and limbs, can persist indefinitely after discontinuing antipsychotic medications. This is due to the long-term effects of these medications on the brain and nervous system. The other choices, B, C, and D, do not relate to the effects of antipsychotic medications and therefore are incorrect. General Anxiety Disorder may have persistent symptoms, but it is not directly caused by discontinuing antipsychotic medications. Increased physical strength and improved mental acuity are not associated with the discontinuation of antipsychotic medications, as they primarily target mental health symptoms rather than physical abilities. Therefore, the only correct answer is A Tardive dyskinesia.
