Burden and Impact

Understanding DIMDs can require looking beyond their clinical presentation. The burden and impact associated with DIMDs may be substantial, particularly for TD, a persistent and often irreversible disorder. The abnormal involuntary movements of TD may affect multiple aspects of patients’ lives, including their physical, social, and emotional well-being. Explore the evidence to gain a broader understanding of TD burden.
WHY IT MATTERS
What is observed clinically may tell only part of the story. The impact of a DIMD can vary considerably from patient to patient and may influence aspects of life that are not immediately apparent during an assessment. Considering the patient’s perspective alongside clinical observations can help provide a more complete picture of disease burden.
