Very likely to pass

This is a non-controversial resolution that does not cost money or change laws. These types of awareness measures usually pass with broad support from both parties.

Key Points

This resolution officially recognizes a week in May to teach the public about Tardive Dyskinesia. This is a medical condition that causes people to have uncontrollable, repetitive body movements like twitching or blinking.
The condition is often a side effect of taking certain long-term medications for mental health or stomach problems. It currently affects about 600,000 people in the United States.
The goal of the awareness week is to help more people get diagnosed. Right now, about 60 percent of people with this condition do not know they have it, which prevents them from getting the medical help they need.
