Patient's question:
My child is 21 years old this year and has already become an adult, but last month he was diagnosed with ADHD. Now, my child's ADHD is getting worse and worse. Before, the child was just a bit restless, but now his attention is always hard to focus. I would like to consult a few things: if adults with Tourette syndrome get older, will it become more severe?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you have described, you mentioned that your child, who is 21 years old, developed tics. This condition has recurred. If the symptoms are relatively prominent, it is recommended to have a timely follow-up consultation with a neurology department. If necessary, rehabilitation therapy can be implemented. To improve the current situation, psychological intervention can be applied to alleviate the symptoms. It is also advised to ensure deep sleep, pay attention to rest, and engage in more exercise and activities.
