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

This House Resolution expresses support for designating the week of May 4 through May 10, 2025, as "Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week" . The resolution highlights that Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) is an involuntary movement disorder characterized by uncontrollable movements, often associated with prolonged use of certain medications for serious mental or gastrointestinal illnesses. It is estimated that approximately 600,000 people in the United States are affected by TD, with about 65 percent remaining undiagnosed. The resolution emphasizes that even mild symptoms can significantly impact individuals physically, socially, and emotionally, making increased awareness crucial. By supporting this designation, the House of Representatives aims to raise awareness among the public and medical community, encouraging better monitoring for TD by healthcare providers and informing individuals about the condition to facilitate earlier diagnosis and treatment.
