Tardive Dyskinesia is a result of damage to the bodily systems that process dopamine, and is typically caused by exposure to certain prescriptions medications. The symptoms of TD mimic those of Parkinson’s disease and are irreversible and incurable. Tardive Dyskinesia victims suffer from involuntary, repetitive movements which often continue after the drug is no longer used.
