An estimated 500,000 people in the US are living with tardive dyskinesia (TD), an adverse neurologic effect that is usually caused by dopamine receptor–blocking agents used to treat certain psychiatric disorders (such as schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and bipolar disorder), as well as some neurologic and gastrointestinal disorders.

Join Dr. Leslie Citrome, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, New York Medical College on Monday, December 6th for a free presentation and live Q&A discussion at 10:00 am EST.

This discussion will cover a variety of topics including causes and symptoms of TD, the impact TD can have on your health, and when you should seek medical care. It will also touch on risk factors for TD, how to be screened, and management strategies for those diagnosed with TD.
