Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a lifelong brain disorder. But how do doctors define it? And is there a cure?...

Q: Tardive Dyskynesia

I know that taking Abilify (aripiprazole) can cause tardive dyskynesia. Although this is possible, how probable is it? eg. 1 in 10, etc. How long would you need to take the medication before showing this symptom, and at what strength? Is this for schizophrenia, as I have been told, or for manic-depression as I've seen on the web, or both?
