Patient's question:
Can Tourette Syndrome heal on its own? If it's left untreated and no doctor is seen or medication is taken for treatment, what will happen?Doctor's answer:
Patients with this tic disorder find it difficult to recover completely on their own. However, as they grow older during adolescence, there is a possibility that some may experience a spontaneous recovery, though it is rare. For individuals in this group, their families should provide more companionship, communication, and care, which will be beneficial for the stability of their overall symptoms. It is recommended to maintain a light and balanced diet, avoid overeating, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods.
