During Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month, MISSD invites you to watch and share our new video explaining why akathisia awareness is essential to patient safety and medication-induced suicide prevention.

Akathisia is a serious, medication-induced disorder that is too often missed, misunderstood, or mistaken for another condition. Greater awareness can help patients, families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals recognize the warning signs and take informed action. MISSD established International Akathisia Awareness Day on September 20, 2016, to increase public understanding of akathisia, reduce avoidable suffering, and save lives. Ten years later, IAAD has received global recognition, which makes us proud.

Please watch the video, share it with someone who needs to see it, take our free courses, and consider making a donation at MISSD.co to help continue this essential work.
