Expressing support for the designation of the week of May 4, 2025, through May 10, 2025, as "Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week".

YourVoice.Now Summary

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is an involuntary movement disorder — causing uncontrollable, repetitive movements of the face, torso, and limbs — that can develop as a side effect of long-term use of certain psychiatric and gastrointestinal medications. An estimated 600,000 Americans are affected, and roughly 65 percent haven't been diagnosed. This resolution supports designating May 4–10, 2025, as Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week and encourages both the public and the medical community to learn more about the condition, since the FDA has approved treatments that can make a real difference for people living with it.

Congressional Summary
