Neuroleptic malignant syndrome and serotonin syndrome - severe adverse reactions with psychotropic medications

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome and serotonin syndrome are two conditions that can occur with psychotropic medications. Although both states are associated with psychiatric care they can also occur in somatic settings. The clinical pictures are complex with many different symptoms of varying severity.  Both diagnoses are therefore easy to miss. Opinions remain divided on how to treat both states pharmacologically. The aim of this article is to increase the understanding and awareness of these potentially life-threatening conditions, which arise from treatment with dopaminergic or serotonergic substances.
