Currently, more than 14 million Americans have a serious mental illness, such as bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder and schizophrenia, conditions that can be treated with antipsychotic medicines. Use of these medicines has increased 22%, increasing the risk for developing a debilitating chronic movement condition called tardive dyskinesia.

Tardive dyskinesia can cause debilitating uncontrollable and repetitive movements that can make eating, drinking and walking difficult. While tardive dyskinesia can be treated, integrating new medicines into any existing treatment plan can be challenging. Sometimes regimens can become complex causing patients to feel overwhelmed and give up on treatment or go without treatment entirely.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a new treatment formulation – one pill, taken once-daily – that could help the millions of Americans living with a serious mental illness whose antipsychotic medications may cause this condition. This new formulation of an established treatment can be integrated into existing mental health treatment plans.

On tonight’s show, Rakesh Jain, MD, MPH, Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry, Texas Tech University School of Medicine is joining me to discuss tardive dyskinesia, its impact on peoples’ lives and the importance of this treatment formulation and Sherland Peterson is sharing her experience with TD, and how it has impacted her quality of life.

His father passed away when he was one month old and his mother passed away when he was 11. He attended and graduated from Trinity School in Limestone County, Alabama. His grandmother, who was born into slavery in 1855, saw him graduate from college in 1960 and in 1967, he was the first black teacher hired by Athens City Schools to teach English at Athens High School. After four years at AHS, he went to Calhoun Community College to teach. That’s where he would work for the next 28 years before retirement. Tonight, it’s an honor and a privilege to have retired Professor Mack David joining me on the show! Listen & share.
