We’re grateful for the work of Neurocrine Biosciences in advancing research and raising awareness about tardive dyskinesia (TD), an involuntary movement disorder often associated with antipsychotic medication use. Through continued research, education, and advocacy, we can help reduce stigma, encourage earlier recognition, and connect individuals with the care and support they deserve. 💚 Mental health awareness means recognizing the whole person, including the physical and emotional challenges that can accompany mental health conditions. Together, we can build a more informed, compassionate, and supportive community!
