A person develops delusion (false and firm belief in something that is not true), hallucinations (a person sees or hears unreal things), dysfunctional behaviour, disordered thinking, and in some cases, suicidal thoughts. Nedol tablet is also used in Tourette's syndrome (characterised by repetitive movements or unwanted sounds called tics).
