Dyskinesia: It is a condition caused due to long-term use of certain antipsychotic drugs. It affects the nervous system and causes involuntary movements of mouth, lips, tongue or eyelids. The symptoms include rapid blinking, smacking lips repetitively and sticking tongue out.  

Agitation and aggression: These are behavioural symptoms. Agitation is excessive motor activity (posture, strength, muscle tone) which can readily escalate to aggression that may be either physical (towards people or objects) or verbal (vicious threats and cursing).
