Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended going to the neurology department for a check-up. How can I identify Tourette syndrome in children?Doctor's answer:
Tics are localized muscle twitches that result from changes in brain function. It is a distinct concept from ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), which involves no organic changes in the brain. Tics, on the other hand, generally have positive signs upon careful examination and may indicate organic changes. If you suspect tics, the best method is to undergo a brain MRI to rule out the possibility of epilepsy or other organic changes.
