In a Word - Akathisia
from PsyDactic · host T. Ryan O'Leary
Today I am continuing an intermittent series called, “In a Word,” and the word that I chose for today is akathisia. Akathisia is broadly defined as an inability to remain still. If you ask someone with Akathisia to stop moving, they will likely become very uncomfortable, but while they are moving, they experience at least some relief.Please leave feedback at https://www.psydactic.com or send any comments to [email protected] and readings (when available) are posted at the end of each episode transcript, located at psydactic.buzzsprout.com.
