Patient's question:
My classmate is a girl. She should be quiet during class, but she occasionally twitches. Later, I learned that she has tics. I want to ask the doctor what causes tics? Can her condition be controlled through some methods?Doctor's answer:
Children with Tourette syndrome actually have a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder. Many children who suffer from this condition are primarily related to intergenerational genetic factors or environmental factors. In addition to the treatment method for this disease, it should be decided whether to use medication treatment or psychological therapy, and parents should communicate more with the child.
