Abstract
The syndrome of tardive dyskinesia (TD) encompasses a series of abnormal involuntary movements associated with chronic exposure to neuroleptic agents. To establish the diagnosis with confidence, the history of prolonged medication must accompany the movements that characterize TD. One feature without the other necessarily casts doubt on the diagnosis. Each diagnostic feature will be discussed briefly followed by a section on differential diagnosis.
