Bill > SR0030

This resolution designates May 4-10, 2025, as Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) Awareness Week, drawing attention to a serious medical condition characterized by uncontrollable, abnormal, and repetitive body movements that can result from prolonged use of antipsychotic medications. The resolution highlights that approximately 800,000 American adults live with TD, and about 60 percent remain undiagnosed, with certain populations at higher risk, including individuals over 55, Black individuals, women, and those with mood or substance use disorders. The resolution emphasizes the importance of early screening and detection, noting that even mild TD symptoms can be stigmatizing and impair an individual's physical, social, and emotional well-being. It encourages healthcare providers, patients, and care partners to prioritize TD screening and education, aligning with the American Psychiatric Association's clinical guidelines, and urges individuals experiencing abnormal movements to consult their healthcare providers to assess TD risk and explore potential treatment options.
