Q1: The answer is extrapyramidal effects and tardive dyskinesia.

Antipsychotics are medicines used for psychosis. But, they are not used to cure conditions, but to help to relieve symptoms. As other medicines, they have some side effects, but prolonged use of antipsychotics may lead to extrapyramidal effects and tardive dyskinesia.
