In recent years, the incidence of Tourette’s syndrome is increasing year by year, experts pointed out that, in general, childhood Tourette’s syndrome starts in childhood, and is more common in boys. The experts suggest that once a child’s tic disorder is detected, it is important to take the child to the hospital in time to get rid of the tic disorder as soon as possible.
When the stimulus disappears, the tic symptoms persist. In addition, there are psychosocial factors, such as poor family environment, incorrect education, family life events, special parental character, poor parent-child relationship, excessive study load, examination failure, excessive social activities of children, and inappropriate medication, which can be contributing factors. After years of clinical observation, it was found that the symptoms of tic disorder are aggravated when stressed, alleviated when relaxed, and disappeared when sleeping.
1, organic damage to brain tissue About 85% of the affected children are due to frontal or caudate nucleus dysfunction, including: 1, maternal diseases during pregnancy: hypertension, nephritis, anemia, hypothermia, pre-eclampsia, colds, etc.
2, abnormalities in the delivery process: premature birth, forceps delivery, cesarean section, asphyxia, intracranial hemorrhage, etc.
3. Children with infections and trauma to the central nervous system within 1-2 years after birth have a higher chance of developing tics.
The incidence of tic disorder in monozygotic twins is significantly higher than in dizygotic twins, and the prevalence of tic disorder in siblings is higher than in half-siblings (half-siblings, half-siblings), and also higher than in children in general, all of which suggest that genetic factors are closely related to tic disorder.
3, other factors In recent years, many parents of only children “hope that their children will become dragons” eager, due to improper education methods and early intellectual development, so that the pressure of the external environment is far more than the child can reach, is one of the reasons for the current tic disorder (inattention, twitching). In addition, eating artificial dyes in food and consuming a diet containing excessive amounts of lead (not necessarily to the point of lead poisoning) can also lead to tics.
In addition, domestic data show that 61.7% of parents are so-called “strict disciplinarians”, 3.5% are permissive, and 7.05% are over-indulgent in the poor family education of children with tics. Some foreign scholars also believe that violent discipline can cause the child to develop symptoms and add new ones, such as stuttering, eyebrow squeezing and blinking. The indifference, permissiveness, and overindulgence of the child may often contribute to the development of symptoms or aggravate existing symptoms.
The most important thing to do is to make sure that you get the right treatment. Tic disorder in children is a relatively common language and behavior disorder in daily life, and the results show that in daily life, children with tic disorder are always ridiculed and mocked by the people around them, so there are generally bad emotional and psychological problems, as well as serious social barriers. For this situation, we can take the following methods to correct it.
1, choose a regular hospital, authoritative experts, for children with Tourette’s syndrome to carry out standardized treatment.
In addition, parents should take advantage of the relationship with their children and take the initiative to provide psychological guidance to their children with Tourette’s syndrome, communicate with school teachers and professional physicians in a timely manner, choose the right professional education methods, and ask teachers to give more care to children with Tourette’s syndrome in school life.
3. Encourage normal interaction between children with Tourette’s syndrome and the people around them, so that they can integrate into the group life as soon as possible.
4. Encourage the child to participate in sports activities to create conditions for interaction between the child and others.
