Expert Insights on Telehealth’s Role and Limitations in Tardive Dyskinesia Management
Telehealth has emerged as a valuable tool in assessing and managing tardive dyskinesia (TD), a movement disorder associated with prolonged use of dopamine receptor-blocking agents.
Video: Differentiating Tardive Dyskinesia From Parkinsonism for Accurate Treatment
In this video, Dr. Craig Chepke underscores the importance of distinguishing tardive dyskinesia (TD) from other movement disorders to ensure proper treatment. While increased awareness of TD is promising, over-diagnosing all abnormal movements as TD can lead to errors.
Instructional Video Highlights the Importance of AIMS Exam for Detecting and Monitoring Tardive Dyskinesia
In this instructional video, Dr. Rakesh Jain, co-chair of Psych Congress, emphasizes the importance of the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) in diagnosing and monitoring tardive dyskinesia (TD). Dr. Jain details the components, scoring, and procedure for conducting the AIMS exam.
