A resolution designating the first full week in May as "Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week".
This symbolic resolution designates the first full week in May as Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week to promote public and healthcare provider education about TD symptoms and the importance of routine screening for patients on long-term antipsychotic medications. It does not create new laws or funding but formally recognizes the need for early detection of tardive dyskinesia - a movement disorder linked to antipsychotic use - amidst high rates of undiagnosed cases. The resolution supports existing clinical guidelines recommending regular TD screenings for at-risk individuals, including those over 55, Black patients, women, and those with specific health conditions.
