Tardive Dyskinesia Etiology: Risks and Considerations

CCO Neuroscience Podcast

In this episode, Christoph U. Correll, MD, and John M. Kane, MD, discuss the various etiologies of tardive dyskinesia (TD). Although most healthcare professionals are aware of the risk for TD that comes with first- and second-generation antipsychotic use, there is less awareness around other modifiable and unmodifiable factors that increase risk for TD development. Some modifiable risks include metoclopramide use, anticholinergic use, and substance use disorder; unmodifiable risks include older age and female sex. The doctors agree that, regardless of the level of risk, careful documentation and evaluation should be conducted with patients to detect TD early—should it develop. Their conversation rounds out with considerations for treatment approaches and clinical pearls garnered from years in practice.
