Tourette syndrome
Tourette is characterized by tics, varying in form and duration, often accompanied by concentration problems, anxiety and impulsivity.
What is it?
Motor tics may include blinking, shaking the head, or shrugging the shoulder, while vocal tics may include coughing, throat clearing, or repeating certain sounds.
Although Tourette is often associated with name-calling and swearing, this only occurs in a small proportion of people with this disorder.
In addition to tics, many people with Tourette also experience other symptoms, such as concentration problems, sleep problems, anxiety, panic, overstimulation and impulsiveness. Compulsive thoughts or behaviors also occur in some people.
The severity and combination of symptoms vary greatly from person to person.
The exact cause of Tourette is not yet fully known, but genetic factors appear to play an important role.
Research suggests that brain regions such as the basal ganglia and frontal cortex are involved in the disorder.
How to treat
Although Tourette is not completely curable, in some cases the neurologist or psychiatrist may consider starting medication, such as antipsychotics.
In addition, non-invasive neuromodulation can be a valuable treatment option.
