Talk to your healthcare provider about your symptoms to explore a TD diagnosis and treatment
When your uncontrollable movements began, they likely caused a lot of confusion, frustration, and uncertainty. Now that you know more about Tardive Dyskinesia (TD), you may feel relieved to know that your movements can be treated. The only way to know for certain if you have TD is to schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms.
Remember, the uncontrollable movements of TD are not your fault and can be treated. Your healthcare provider can help. Explore more information about diagnosis and treatment below.
Move forward to managing your TD
Your appointment to diagnose TD shouldn't feel overwhelming. Your healthcare provider will ask about your movements and what mental health medications you're currently on. They'll also conduct a physical exam to look for movements. We have a guide that can help you have the TD discussion with your healthcare provider.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
How should I prepare?
This Appointment Preparation Guide can help start your TD conversation at your next healthcare appointment.
Bring this completed guide with you to discuss your uncontrolled movements, their impact on your everyday activities, an option for managing TD, and more.
REMINDER
It can be difficult to recognize all the symptoms of TD; consider asking a care partner or loved one to join you at your appointment.
Having a care partner or loved one with you can also help ensure you leave your appointment with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and what treatment options are available to you.
