Introduced
Summary
This bill would designate May 3–9, 2026 as Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week to raise public and medical awareness of a movement disorder tied to prolonged use of dopamine receptor blocking drugs. It notes TD affects about 600,000 people in the United States and that roughly 60% of cases go undiagnosed, encourages clinicians to screen and monitor patients on antipsychotics and antiemetics, and urges people to learn symptoms so recognition and available FDA-approved treatments for adults can improve quality of life.
