What is Tourette’s Syndrome in children? We have all seen children who repeatedly blink their eyes, shrug their shoulders or make monotonous and unpleasant noises from time to time. Maybe we just think it’s a bad habit of the child. In fact, these children may have a tic disorder. A tic is an involuntary, rapid, repetitive, non-rhythmic movement or vocalization that occurs suddenly and without apparent purpose. The child often feels that he or she cannot restrain it, but it can usually be controlled by will for a period of time and can be reproduced or restrained at will without pain. The parents of the affected child usually find that these symptoms intensify when they are in a stressful mood and disappear during sleep. There are three types of tics: First, transient tic disorder, which is characterized by blinking, grimacing, head tossing, or making specific sounds from the mouth and nose for more than two weeks, occurring multiple times a day. The second is chronic motor or vocal tic disorder with the same clinical manifestations as transient tic disorder, but for more than a year without remission. The third is vocal and multiple motor or vocal tic disorder, also known as Tourette’s syndrome, also known as “Tourette’s syndrome”. It is a chronic neuropsychiatric disorder of unknown etiology. There is a genetic component. There are many studies that suggest that it is an organic disorder. Unlike the above two types, the clinical manifestation is a combination of vocal tics and multiple motor tics. For example, blinking followed by tongue-biting and head-turning, followed by an “ah”. In some children, the vocal tics are characterized by a string of profanities, often involving “sexual” content. Treatment includes both pharmacological and psychological aspects. Commonly used medications include Tylenol, Haloperidol, etc. Psychological treatment helps to adjust emotions, promote psychological maturity and reduce seizures.
