Designates first full week of May of each year as "Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week" in NJ.
SJR 110 designates the first full week of May each year as "Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week" in New Jersey. This resolution directly affects New Jersey residents with mental illnesses (estimated at 1.1 million adults, or 16.14% of the state population) who may take medications that can cause Tardive Dyskinesia (TD), a neurological condition causing involuntary movements. The bill requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation to raise public awareness about TD symptoms and encourage early screening through regular medical check-ups. It aims to address the fact that approximately 70% of TD cases go undiagnosed, despite TD being treatable with timely intervention.
