In this talk I will discuss disorders of movement control that occur in neuropsychiatric conditions. In some of these conditions, for example schizophrenia, disorders of movement are common, but are often overshadowed by the psychiatric symptoms. Other conditions, for example Tourette’s syndrome and particular functional neurological disorder, challenge our often quite rigid conceptions of voluntary and involuntary movement. I will present a general overview of these common clinical conditions and consider their pathophysiology and clinical management.
