Recognizing Tourette’s syndrome

Tourette syndrome is a type of childhood-onset tic disorder characterized by involuntary and repetitive movements and vocalizations. It was named by the French neurologist Georges Gilles de la Tourette, who first described the disorder in 1885.

This syndrome is often associated with obsessive compulsive disorder and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 86 percent of children with Tourette’s syndrome also have at least one other behavioral, mental, or developmental condition, the most common of which are ADHD and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Tourette’s syndrome symptoms

The main symptom associated with Tourette’s syndrome is the presence of tics, which are sudden, brief, involuntary, or semi-voluntary movements or sounds. Many patients report physical discomfort just before performing a tic. Affected children will tic repeatedly until it feels ‘just right’.

Physical tics:

Eyes blink Eyes dart Gritting teeth Head jerks Turns neck Nose twitches Rolls eyes

Tics fonik:

Exhale Barking sound Clears throat Cough Snoring Hiccups

Causes of Tourette’s syndrome

There’s no known cause for Tourette’s syndrome, Mother. This is because tics and other related illnesses may improve with medications that alter the brain chemicals serotonin and dopamine, and there has been speculation that Tourette’s syndrome may be caused in part by abnormalities in the communication of these chemicals.

Treatments for Tourette’s syndrome

While there’s no cure for Tourette’s syndrome, psychotherapy or medication can help with tics.

1. Psychotherapy

Behavioral treatments aimed at improving social functioning and quality of life are first-line treatment strategies for Tourette’s syndrome. Involving parents, teachers, and classmates in the effort is often critical to an effective treatment outcome. The following are common behavioral therapies for this syndrome:

Comprehensive behavioral intervention for tics (CBIT): A type of evidence-based behavioral therapy for Tourette’s syndrome, CBIT includes habit reversal, relaxation techniques, and education about tics. Habit reversal: One of the most studied types of behavioral intervention for people with tics and impulsive behavior, habit reversal involves awareness training, to bring greater attention to tics, and competitive responses, actions intended to replace tics. Parent training: Parent training increases understanding of the disorder and provides strategies for family members to be supportive. Learning positive reinforcement strategies to deal with behavior problems is also part of parent training.

2. Treatment

If a child is severely affected or engages in self-injurious behavior, treatment may be needed for this. There are a variety of medications that are effective in treating this symptom, including:

First-generation antipsychotics, such as Haldol (haloperidol) and Orap (pimozide) Second-generation antipsychotics, such as Abilify (aripiprazole) Antidepressants, such as Prozac (fluoxetine) or Anafranil (clomipramine)
