Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is characterized by abnormal, involuntary and repetitive movements that can affect a person’s physical, social and emotional well-being. People living with TD may feel judged, ashamed, isolated and/or stigmatized, so it’s important to have a support network in place. Resources are available at bit.ly/48pzRSr. #TDAwarenessWeek (fb)
