Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Akathisia is a ‘subjective feeling of motor restlessness manifested by a compelling need to be in constant movement’. 1. Making a diagnosis of akathisia is often a challenge because of a lack of specific, well-defined criteria.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, patients with akathisia complain of having restlessness, a need or compulsion to move, or even an intense desire to walk. Because the urge to move can exceed the movements, physicians may reasonably mistake akathisia for anxiety or agitated depression.
