The EEG Speaks for the Patient: Identification and Treatment of Akinetic Mutism with Comorbid Delirium
Akinetic mutism is a constellation of psychoneurological symptoms characterized by profound apathy and a lack of verbal and motor output for action, despite preserved alertness and the intention or wish to speak.

QT Prolongation, Torsades de Pointes, and Psychotropic Medications: A 5-Year Update
Some psychotropic medications have been associated with prolongation of the QT interval and QT prolongation, especially in those with medical illness, and are linked to lethal ventricular arrhythmias, such as Torsades de Pointes (TdP).
