Expressing support for the designation of the week of May 5, 2024, through May 11, 2024, as "Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week".

This resolution (HRES 1200) designates the week of May 5-11, 2024, as "Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week." It aims to raise public and medical awareness about tardive dyskinesia (TD), a movement disorder affecting approximately 600,000 people in the U.S. who may experience involuntary movements due to long-term use of certain medications (like antipsychotics or antiemetics) for mental or gastrointestinal conditions. The resolution does not enact new laws or policies but encourages broader recognition of TD symptoms and the importance of monitoring for this condition.
