Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Could you please tell me what the symptoms of Tourette syndrome are?Doctor's answer:
Children with Tourette syndrome often experience recurring symptoms such as blinking, frowning, sniffling, shrugging shoulders, puffing out their chests, and taking deep breaths. These symptoms are usually less noticeable when they are focused, relaxed, or in a good mood, and they completely disappear after falling asleep at night. However, they tend to worsen during times of stress, anxiety, or anger.For the treatment of Tourette syndrome, it is recommended to combine medication with psychological therapy while also maintaining a well-structured daily routine to prevent excessive stress and engage in appropriate exercise.
