Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a neurological disorder, indicating brain damage, caused by the use of neuroleptic or antipsychotic drugs such as Thorazine, Stelazine, Haldol, and Modecate. These drugs are generally prescribed by psychiatrists for people labeled mentally disordered. TD is usually permanent. It consists of various uncontrollable, grotesque movements of the body, primarily the face, mouth, and tongue. The condition frequently develops after one or two years of regular drug use, but it can start as early as two or three months after drug treatment begins. The symptoms usually appear after a patient stops taking the medication, because the medication itself masks or suppresses the very symptoms that it causes. There is no cure. Roughly 25 to 50 percent of people taking these drugs have developed or will develop TD. Critics of psychiatric medication claim that there is now a worldwide epidemic of TD, with at least 25,000,000 sufferers. Patients are generally not informed about this serious risk, which both the psychiatric profession and the multinational drug companies covered up for many years.
