Patient's question:
The child doesn't know why they sometimes twitch without any reason. They say this condition might be epilepsy, and we are very scared. We want to know, what department does pediatric tics belong to? What should we pay attention to in daily life to alleviate such conditions?Doctor's answer:
Childhood tic disorder is a mental illness with an unknown etiology, and its treatment primarily focuses on psychological therapy. Therefore, such a disease should belong to the department of psychology. The psychiatric department may not be established in low-level hospitals, so if these diseases are to be examined and treated in hospitals, then they should seek psychological counseling and treatment at the third-level hospital of the psychiatric department. Under the guidance and advice of the doctor, encourage the child, and so on.
