Unlikely to pass

While this resolution has bipartisan support and no cost, many ceremonial resolutions are introduced but never receive a formal vote on the House floor.

Key Points

This resolution asks the House of Representatives to officially recognize May 4 through May 10, 2025, as a time to learn about tardive dyskinesia. It is a ceremonial statement, which means it does not change any laws or provide any new government funding.
The goal is to help the 600,000 Americans living with this condition, which causes uncontrollable and repetitive body movements. Many people develop this disorder after taking certain medications for mental health or stomach issues, but about 65 percent of them have never been formally diagnosed.
By creating an awareness week, supporters hope more patients will talk to their doctors about their symptoms and get screened. Since there are now medical treatments for the condition, finding it early can help people manage their symptoms and live more comfortable lives.
