|---|
| 5 | 5 | | May 2, 2023 - Introduced by Senators C ABRAL-GUEVARA and FELZKOWSKI, |
|---|
| 6 | 6 | | cosponsored by Representatives ROZAR, C. ANDERSON, DRAKE, EMERSON, |

|---|
| 10 | 10 | | in Wisconsin. |
|---|
| 11 | 11 | | Whereas, many people with serious mental health conditions, such as bipolar |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | disorder, major depression, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder, or |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | gastrointestinal disorders, including gastroparesis, nausea, and vomiting, may be |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | treated with medications that work as dopamine receptor blocking agents (DRBAs), |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | including antipsychotics; and |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | Whereas, while ongoing treatment with these medications can be necessary, |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | prolonged use can also lead to tardive dyskinesia (TD), an involuntary movement |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | disorder that is characterized by uncontrollable, abnormal, and repetitive |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | movements of the face, torso, or other body parts; and |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | Whereas, it is estimated that TD affects approximately 600,000 people in the |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | United States, and approximately 70 percent of people with TD have not been |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | diagnosed, making it important to raise awareness about the symptoms and impact |

|---|
| 39 | 39 | | 2023 - 2024 Legislature |
|---|
| 40 | 40 | | of TD because even mild symptoms of TD can have physical, social, and emotional |
|---|
| 41 | 41 | | consequences; and |
|---|
| 42 | 42 | | Whereas, it is important that people taking DRBA medication be monitored for |
|---|
| 43 | 43 | | TD. Regular screening for TD in these patients is recommended by the American |
|---|
| 44 | 44 | | Psychiatric Association; and |
|---|
| 45 | 45 | | Whereas, clinical research has led to the availability of two treatments for |
|---|
| 46 | 46 | | adults with TD approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; and |
|---|
| 47 | 47 | | Whereas, the legislature can raise awareness of TD in the public and medical |
|---|
| 48 | 48 | | community; now, therefore, be it |
|---|
| 49 | 49 | | Resolved by the senate, the assembly concurring, That the legislature does |
|---|
| 50 | 50 | | hereby proclaim May 1 to 7, 2023, to be Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week in |
|---|
| 51 | 51 | | Wisconsin; and be it further |
|---|
| 52 | 52 | | Resolved, That the legislature encourages each individual in the state of |
|---|
| 53 | 53 | | Wisconsin to become better informed about and aware of tardive dyskinesia. |
