MAG Top Docs- Understanding and Addressing Tardive Dyskinesia with Dr. Suneel Katragadda

May 21, 2025 • The Medical Association of Georgia

What is tardive dyskinesia (TD), and why is it so often misunderstood? In this episode, MAG CEO Jeremy Bonfini sits down with Dr. Suneel Katragadda, who oversees Child and Adolescent Services at Peachford Behavioral Health System, to explore the full impact of TD—far beyond the clinical symptoms.

Together, they discuss the emotional, social, and functional toll of TD, the importance of routine screening, and which patient populations are at highest risk. The conversation also addresses common barriers to regular screening, misconceptions about TD, and how providers can have more empowering conversations with patients.

Whether you're a provider, caregiver, or patient, this episode offers practical insights and a hopeful look at how healthcare systems and policy can help improve outcomes for those living with TD.

Tune in to learn how increased awareness, routine screening, and informed dialogue can transform the way TD is understood and treated.
