Tardive Dyskinesia TD

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary muscle movements, often caused by long-term use of antipsychotic medications, though other medications can also trigger it. The term "tardive" means delayed, and "dyskinesia" refers to involuntary movements. TD typically develops after prolonged use of medication, though it can also occur after short-term use, particularly in individuals over 65.
