Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week Coming Up In May, Learn More Now
May 2nd – 8th is Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week. Join NAMI Minnesota and its affiliates as we learn about Tardive Dyskinesia, a side effect of neuroleptics used to treat mental illnesses. This event will take place from noon to 1 pm on Tuesday, May 4.
Tardive Dyskinesia causes involuntary muscle movements outside of a person’s control that may include repetitive, jerking movements of the face, neck and tongue. One in four people who are treated with antipsychotics long term develop Tardive Dyskinesia.
