Patient's question:
My son was very mischievous when he was young and never stayed still. At first, the whole family said that all boys are like this, and being mischievous is normal. But as he grew older, he became even more hyperactive, which made me wonder if he might have Tourette syndrome. So, I'd like to ask, what are the causes of childhood Tourette syndrome?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of childhood Tourette syndrome is psychological and physical factors. For example, children may be timid, have unstable emotions of hyperactivity, be sensitive, and experience family conflicts, high demands on their needs, excessive blame, and so on. If you want to confirm whether your child has Tourette syndrome, it is recommended that you go to the hospital to see a doctor for diagnosis and then take the relevant treatment measures. In daily life, pay more attention to your child's condition and provide them with a nutritious diet.
