How should Tourette Syndrome be treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. How should tics be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Tourette syndrome needs to be examined for the condition. Generally, if it is caused by deliberate imitation, it is recommended to educate and guide the child to gradually change the bad habit. If it is caused by ADHD, it is necessary to revisit the pediatric hospital for a follow-up, and standardized treatment should be implemented based on the examination results. ADHD is a behavioral disorder, and the treatment for pediatric ADHD includes psychological therapy, family therapy, behavioral therapy, dietary therapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and Western medicine treatment, etc. When you have time, visit a specialized hospital for a follow-up. Wish the baby a speedy recovery.
