The universal donning of masks during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic led to a decreased ability to read people's facial expressions. In this context, it is prudent to think about how diagnoses can be missed or worsened by the practice of mandatory masking. Here, we report the case of an adolescent white male who presented with new-onset agitation, akathisia, and orofacial dyskinesia in the context of chronic stimulant use for the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and antipsychotic use for oppositional defiant disorder.
在2019年冠状病毒病大流行期间普遍佩戴口罩导致解读人们面部表情的能力下降。在这种情况下,谨慎思考强制戴口罩的做法会如何导致漏诊或使病情恶化是很有必要的。在此,我们报告一例青少年白人男性病例,该患者在长期使用兴奋剂治疗注意力缺陷多动障碍以及使用抗精神病药物治疗对立违抗障碍的背景下,出现了新发的激越、静坐不能和口面部运动障碍。
