Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a condition causing uncontrollable, repetitive movements of the face, torso, and limbs, associated with prolonged antipsychotic medication use

Approximately 60% of an estimated 800,000 U.S. adults with TD remain undiagnosed

Supports efforts to raise awareness about TD causes, symptoms, and the importance of routine screening as recommended by the American Psychiatric Association
