Overview: Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a movement disorder that can develop after taking certain psychiatric medications, often gradually and sometimes unnoticed at first. This session will help you recognize early signs, understand who is at risk, and feel confident advocating for evaluation and care. We’ll focus on what TD looks like in real life, how to talk to healthcare providers about concerns, and what steps can be taken if symptoms appear. No medical background required – just curiosity and a willingness to learn.
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is an involuntary movement disorder linked to some antipsychotic
medications. Watch this video to learn why talking to your healthcare provider about
screening for uncontrolled movements matters.
