TD: The Whole Story

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for tardive dyskinesia is not the scary, last-ditch brain surgery many people might imagine. Dr. Cherian Karunapuzha, a movement disorder neurologist and director of the Meinders Center, breaks down who DBS can actually help, why dystonia is often involved, and how this treatment fits into a much bigger, more personalized plan. Host, Bill Cote, from NOTD sits down with Dr. K, to make one of the most misunderstood TD treatments finally feel clear, practical, and less intimidating. If you've been told your movements are "just something to live with," this conversation will change what you think is possible.

One day you're a successful CEO, the next you can barely breathe. That's the story of Amy Y who shares her journey with respiratory dyskinesia, a debilitating but little-known form of tardive dyskinesia. This episode features Amy and Craig Chepke, MD, one of the leading psychiatrists who treats this disorder in his practice. Who's at risk? The 8,000,000 Americans who take antipsychotics and the 5,000,000 people affected by gastroparesis. If you're one of them, or you're a healthcare professional who treats them, please watch this. #TardiveDyskinesia #RespiratoryDyskinesia #Gastroparesis #MentalHealthAwareness #PatientStories
