摘要：
Current usage of the term ‘atypical’ in relation to antipsychotics lacks clear theoretical underpinnings and rigour in application. The prevailing definition of atypicality is a reduced liability to induce extrapyramidal side effects (EPS). However, this definition appears incomplete in the face of numerous other limitations associated with antipsychotics that can impact adversely on patient well-being; these encompass issues of efficacy, non-motoric physiology and quality of life.
