Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. What are the causes of Tourette syndrome in children?Doctor's answer:
The etiology of Tourette syndrome has not been fully clarified. Scholars and experts believe that intergenerational genetic factors are related to the cause of Tourette syndrome, but the intergenerational inheritance pattern is still unclear. Psychological factors also play a very important role in the onset of Tourette syndrome. Various psychological factors that children encounter in school, family, and society, or the reasons that lead to children's anxiety and tension, may all lead to tics or tic symptoms. In addition, perinatal complications such as birth injuries, breathing difficulties, premature birth, low birth weight, etc., are also related to the recurrence of tics.
