Tardive dyskinesia: understanding current challenges in diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract

TD underlie the need for further research and accumulation of evidence to inform best practice. Given that it is difficult for clinicians to diagnose TD based solely on brief visits at the clinic, at which patients may be nervous or embarrassed about discussing symptoms, it is the authors’ hope that not only physicians but also other medical staff, caregivers, and patients alike can all play a role in monitoring for TD.
