Chronic organophosphate (OP)-induced neuropsychiatric disorder is a withdrawal syndrome

Chronic organophosphate-induced neuropsychiatric disorder is a less well-characterized syndrome, which is usually delay-occurred, persists long and is similar to the symptom of cholinergic deficit, its mechanism is unclear. The characteristics of chronic organophosphate-induced neuropsychiatric disorder are somewhat opposite to the direct action of OP pesticide, since withdrawal effect is usually opposite to the original effect of a drug, hypothesis that chronic organophosphate-induced neuropsychiatric disorder is a kind of withdrawal syndrome is suggested.
