The use of imaging in diagnosing Tardive Dyskinesia
by a55telly, Mar 05, 2009 04:39AM
My 53 year old husband has long suffered from depression and anxiety. At one point the anxiety was so uncontrollable, his doctor put him through ECT. Over time he has been given quite a few different medications, including things like thorazine. For about 7 years he's had classic signs of Tardive Dyskinesia (based on a lot of research that we have done - and by his oral surgeon). He has never undergone any sort of testing that would confirm the diagnosis. Would an MRI or CT Scan likely show up something if he does have TD? If so, what might show up? Thanks.

The diagnosis mainly depends on clinical symptoms. The symptoms may not show in the doctor’s office so it is important to engage the patient in conversation while looking for symptoms.
