What is Mental Illness
Warning Signs and Symptoms
Trying to tell the difference between what expected behaviors are and what might be the signs of a mental health condition isn’t always easy, but identifying a problem early can help lead to the best outcome.
Mental Health Conditions
A mental illness is a condition that affects a person’s thinking, feeling or mood. Such conditions may affect someone’s ability to relate to others and function each day. Each person will have different experiences, even people with the same diagnosis.
Tardive Dyskinesia (TD)
Tardive dyskinesia is a real condition where people have movements they can’t control. Tardive dyskinesia symptoms may occur in the face, torso, limbs, or fingers and toes. TD may develop after a few months of taking certain medications to treat bipolar disorder, depression, or schizophrenia. For more information, see here:
