The management of tardive dyskinesia can be complex. While the condition might not be curable, changing the medication or adjusting its dose may help manage symptoms. In some cases, specific drugs to treat tardive dyskinesia may be used.

Symptoms include repetitive, involuntary, and purposeless movements. These can be mild twitches or more severe and disabling movements, mainly affecting the face, lips, legs, and torso.
