People showing signs of psychomotor agitation may be experiencing mental tension and anxiety, which comes out physically as: * fast or repetitive movements * movements that have no purpose * movements that are not intentional These activities are the subconscious mind's way of trying to relieve tension. Often people experiencing psychomotor agitation feel as if their movements are not deliberate. Sometimes, however, psychomotor agitation does not relate to mental tension and anxiety. Recent studies found that nicotine withdrawal induces psychomotor agitation (motor deficit). In other cases, psychomotor agitation can be caused by antipsychotic medications. For instance,<unk> , a movement disorder sometimes induced by antipsychotics and other psychotropics, is estimated to affect 15-35% of patients with schizophrenia.
