SJR32,1,2
1
Relating to:
designating the first full week in May as Tardive Dyskinesia
2
Awareness Week.
SJR32,1,5
3
Whereas, serious mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, major depressive
4
disorder, and schizophrenia often require treatment with antipsychotic medications
5
for effective management, and antipsychotic prescribing rates continue to rise; and
SJR32,1,9
6
Whereas, while prolonged antipsychotic use may be essential for the
7
treatment of certain conditions, it is associated with tardive dyskinesia (TD), a
8
condition marked by uncontrollable, abnormal, and repetitive movements of the
9
face, torso, limbs, or extremities; and
SJR32,1,13
10
Whereas, people at higher risk of TD include those older than 55 years; Black
11
individuals; women; individuals with mood or substance use disorders, intellectual
12
disabilities, or central nervous system injuries; and those with high cumulative
13
antipsychotic exposure; and
SJR32,2,3
14
Whereas, approximately 60 percent of the estimated 800,000 U.S. adults
1
living with TD remain undiagnosed, and even mild TD symptoms can be
2
stigmatizing and impair physical, social, and emotional well-being, underscoring
3
the urgency of early screening, detection, and intervention; and
SJR32,2,8
4
Whereas, the American Psychiatric Association recommends routine TD
5
screening in their clinical guidelines for antipsychotic treatment, and individuals
6
treated with antipsychotics or experiencing abnormal movements should consult
7
their health care providers to assess TD risk, receive TD screenings, and determine
8
appropriate treatment together; and
SJR32,2,10
9
Whereas, FDA-approved treatments for TD can provide options for symptom
10
management and improved quality of life for many individuals living with TD; and
SJR32,2,14
11
Whereas, the Wisconsin Legislature can encourage TD screening education
12
and awareness for health care providers, patients, and care partners to help ensure
13
patients prescribed antipsychotics receive care and support that aligns with clinical
14
best practice, including regular TD screenings; now, therefore, be it
SJR32,2,20
15
Resolved by the
senate
, the
assembly
concurring, That
the Wisconsin
16
Legislature designates the first full week in May as Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness
17
Week, underscores the importance of early detection and intervention to improve
18
outcomes for people living with mental health conditions and prescribed
19
antipsychotics, and supports efforts to raise awareness about the causes and
20
symptoms of TD and the importance of routine TD screening.
