What is the best way to treat Tourette Syndrome

Tourette syndrome requires attention to understand the cause, and scientifically treat and solve it. First of all, we must pay attention to what causes Tourette syndrome. At the same time, we must analyze the psychological factors of the child to understand whether it is caused by excessive psychological pressure or family conflicts.

(1) Eliminate the cause:

In children with transient tic disorders, especially those whose tics do not last long, it is often not difficult to find the triggering factors during the behavioral interview. Triggers for young children are usually watching intense television or video programs, playing video games, or hearing or seeing frightening things. Therefore, it is crucial to find the trigger and eliminate it, which is also the treatment of tics from the root.

(2) Detailed analysis of psychological factors:

The psychological factors before the child becomes ill should be analyzed in detail to find out the possible causes of the disease and then solve them. Older children often develop tics due to accidents, family conflicts, or excessive academic pressure. For example, the adjustment of various contradictions, family conflicts, and the mental conflicts and tensions caused by excessive demands and coercion of parents and grandparents on children must be resolved. If there are school factors, you should contact the teacher to jointly resolve the issue. For factors that cannot be resolved, supportive psychotherapy should be given to help children analyze the mental causes and find the correct way to deal with them.

(3) Provide necessary guidance to parents:

Explain the nature of the disease to the child's parents and tell them not to panic. This will eliminate the reinforcement effect caused by the parents' excessive attention. Parents are often overly worried about tics. They should be made to understand the causes of tics and arrange their children's life, study and activities reasonably. Do not remind the child of his or her tic symptoms. Blaming and paying excessive attention to the child will make him more nervous, which is not conducive to controlling the tics. Instead, the child's tics should be ignored, which can gradually relieve the symptoms. In most patients, symptoms will disappear naturally after a few months. Help children eliminate inducements and provide a good and relaxed family environment.
