Thank you
is this a survey or research you are trying to do? reason I asked is you only posted the questions but didnt tell us if you have it or other people you know have it or why you are asking about this.

Im sure if you google you will find your answers like I did.

"Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a life- threatening neurological disorder most often caused by an adverse reaction to neuroleptic or antipsychotic drugs."

"Demographically, it appears that males, especially those under forty, are at greatest risk for developing NMS"
