What disease is it when a child's limbs or even the whole body twitch?

Patient's question:

At the age of 6, the child started experiencing frequent blinking, tics, and throat clearing. After being diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at the hospital, the condition has had periods of relief over the past three years, but it has not been completely cured. It has now worsened.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) manifests in diverse ways, with the main diagnostic criteria being: significant difficulties in concentrating, short attention span, hyperactivity, or impulsivity compared to children of the same age. It is generally believed to be related to factors such as genetics, neurobiological factors, heredity, and adverse stimuli during pregnancy. Treatment requires medication combined with measures like personality shaping and psychological counseling.
