Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 5-11, 2025, as Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to proclaim May 5-11, 2025, as Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week in New York. It aims to raise public and medical awareness about tardive dyskinesia (TD), a movement disorder caused by long-term antipsychotic medication use, which affects an estimated 800,000 people in the U.S. The resolution highlights that TD often goes undiagnosed and can impair quality of life, urging better screening practices. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new laws or funding but encourages awareness efforts.
