Treating Tardive Dyskinesia: Clinical Challenges and Patient Perspectives

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

This Clinical Commentary consists of an HD video roundtable discussion with two leading expert psychiatrists in the field, who participate in a panel discussion of tardive dyskinesia (TD) as a widespread and undertreated condition in psychiatric populations, as well as the importance of evidence-based differential diagnostics, newly approved therapeutics for treatment of the condition, and strategies for both personalized and improved patient care. This activity additionally includes an interview with a leading neurologist who reviews diagnostic algorithms for TD and shares her perspective on the impact of new drug approvals and strategies for working together with psychiatrists in managing patients with TD. Throughout the activity, testimonials of a patient with tardive dyskinesia are incorporated to bring relevance to the patient perspective, experience and treatment goals.

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a medication-induced, disabling, and often-permanent neurological, hyperkinetic movement-disorder syndrome. TD has significant impact on patients’ activities of daily living (ADLs) and overall quality of life. Physicians require education and awareness on diagnostic algorithms for TD, on agents newly approved for its treatment, and on the associated risks/benefits of those agents’ use in the TD population based on the most recent clinical data and evidence.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
• Evaluate possible clinical indication(s) and patient population(s) that may be at increased risk for tardive dyskinesia (TD).
• Discuss the role of dopamine antagonists and/or other therapies that may play a role in the pathophysiology of TD.
• Recognize the risks, benefits, and possible complications associated with managing TD in the psychiatric population.
• Describe the importance of differential diagnosis and current evidence-based treatment paradigms for patients at risk for TD.
• Interpret the clinical trial efficacy and safety data of novel and emerging therapies for TD.
