Tardive dyskinesia is a neurological disorder that often arises as a side effect of antipsychotic medication. It manifests as involuntary, repetitive movements, typically affecting the face, mouth, and limbs. This condition can lead to feelings of embarrassment and self-consciousness, particularly in professional settings. Individuals may worry about how others perceive them, especially when trying to navigate a return to work after experiencing mental health challenges. Even with medication to alleviate symptoms, many continue to feel hindered by the emotional aspects of their condition, affecting their self-esteem and comfort levels.
Tardive dyskinesia serves as a painful reminder of mental illness, making recovery feel personal and hindering self-esteem, especially in social and professional settings.
Involuntary movements associated with tardive dyskinesia can create embarrassment and self-consciousness, especially in environments like the workplace.
