BACKGROUND: With the frequent use of antipsychotics, the metabolic disorder (MetD) caused by drugs has received increasing attention. However, the mechanism of drug-induced MetD is still unclear and is being explored. Keeping abreast of the progress and trending knowledge in this area is conducive to further work. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to analyze the latest status and trends of research on antipsychoticinduced metabolic disorder (AIMetD) by bibliometric and visual analysis. METHODS: 3478 publications of AIMetD from 2006 to 2021 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. R-biblioshiny was used for descriptive analysis, CiteSpace for cooperative network, co-citation analysis and burst detection, and VOSviewer for co-occurrence keywords was used. RESULTS: Since 2006, the publications have been growing fluctuantly. These studies have extensive cooperation among countries/regions. The most influential country/region, institution and author are the USA, King's College London and Christoph U Correll. Analysis of references shows the largest cluster of "antipsychotic-induced metabolic dysfunction", which is an important basis for MetD. The recent contents of the burst citation are related to "glucose homeostasis" and "cardiovascular metabolism". Several bursting keywords were discerned at the forefront, including "LC-MS/MS", "major depressive disorder", "expression", and "homeostasis". CONCLUSION: The AIMetD study is in a state of sustained development. Close cooperation between countries/ regions has promoted progress. For grasping the foundation, development, and latest trends of AIMetD, it is recommended to focus on active institutions and authors. Based on AIMetD, subdivision areas such as "LC-MS/MS", "expression", and "homeostasis" are forefronts that deserve constant attention.
