Tardive dyskinesia is a difficult-to-treat and often incurable form of
dyskinesia, a disorder resulting in involuntary, repetitive body movements. In this form of dyskinesia, the involuntary movements are
tardive, meaning they have a slow or belated onset. This neurological disorder most frequently occurs as the result of long-term or high-dose use of
antipsychotic drugs, or in children and infants as a side effect from usage of drugs for gastrointestinal disorders.
