What are the causes of Tourette syndrome?

Patient's question:

I have Tourette Syndrome, and I don't know how I got this disease. It makes me feel particularly troubled. Usually, I'm in good health, so now my mood is especially bad. Training has also been canceled, so I guess I should ask the doctors a few questions to find out what the causes of Tourette Syndrome are.

Doctor's answer:

The recurrence of tics in the patient may be related to your psychological and neurological factors and diseases. The key to treatment is first to understand the cause, confirm the diagnosis, so it is necessary to conduct thorough examinations such as brain MRI, EEG, cerebral blood flow imaging, even cerebral angiography, electrolytes, thyroid function, and other detailed tests. Once the cause is identified and the diagnosis is confirmed, it will be crucial in determining the appropriate treatment and medication.
