Half of antipsychotic-induced akathisia gets misdiagnosed as anxiety on the first visit, and the standard reflex — push the antipsychotic dose — turns a fixable side effect into a treatment-ending one. In this Deep Dive, two AI hosts walk through the 2026 PMHNP decision tree: the Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale scoring protocol that takes five minutes at the visit (two minutes seated, two minutes standing), the mirtazapine-15-mg-versus-propranolol-10-30-mg-TID choice that the 2023 network meta-analysis sharpened, and the four-week minimum treatment window that prevents the relapse most prescribers cause when they stop the adjunct too soon. You will also learn the one question — are you moving more than you want to? — that pulls a third of missed cases out of the noise before the antipsychotic gets escalated.
