Question
I’ve recently noticed something off with my daughter, and after looking online, I suspect she might have tic disorder. Which department should I go to at the hospital for this?
Answer
Since this is a common pediatric condition, consulting with a pediatric neurologist or a psychologist would be appropriate. Childhood tic disorders can be associated with fear or chronic anxiety, such as parental discord, long-term illnesses in parents, a mother’s child, and distractions from their favorite child. Severe colds can also trigger tic disorders in some children. If the condition cannot be treated on its own, it may require more time and money due to the long duration of the illness.
