I have written 2 summaries of what I found over many years of exploration and discovery on the surprising extensiveness and impact of akathisia -- the first, a long monograph to explain all its various overlooked, yet highly important aspects and consequences. The second  one is a consolidation of the other -- a speech to give the highlights of what I wrote in my much longer monograph. 

      I hope you find them stimulating and even exciting and the beginning of a whole new understanding of akathisia, which I believe has been unknowingly preventing a much more successful use of the major psychotropics ever since the psychopharmacologic ‘era’ began over 60 years ago with chlorpromazine (Thorazine) and lithium.
