People with Tourette’s syndrome can recover through psychotherapy, rehabilitation training, and medication.
Tourette’s syndrome, or pediatric Tourette’s syndrome, is a psychoneurological disorder that begins in childhood and adolescence.
1. Psychotherapy: The main methods include cognitive therapy, supportive therapy, and behavioral therapy. It can help reduce anxiety and depression secondary to tic symptoms. Patients need to develop good habits of sleeping on time, avoid excessive fatigue, and teachers and parents should care for and help the children appropriately.
2. Rehabilitation training: Relaxation training (exercise the patient to rotate each group of muscles in a systematic way) can be used to achieve general relaxation. It helps to reduce the symptoms of tics and relieve anxiety.
3. Drug therapy: You can choose drugs that are helpful for recovery, such as haloperidol and pimozide. Pimozide should be used with caution in people with a history of epilepsy or drug-induced convulsions.
If you have symptoms of Tourette’s syndrome, you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible, and the doctor will formulate individualized treatment plan according to the specific condition, so as not to delay the condition.
