Question
In the past six months, I’ve noticed that my child has been acting a bit abnormally, especially with some behaviors that seem out of the ordinary. So, we took him to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said that his condition falls under pediatric tic disorder. I’ve heard that this disease is quite difficult to treat, so I’d like to ask if it’s possible to cure pediatric tic disorder?
Answer
Children with tics require both psychological therapy and medication. It is considered a chronic condition. Typically, we should avoid overexertion, tension, and emotional excitement. Parents can help their children correct these tic habits. Tic disorder children may unconsciously blink, shrug their shoulders, or shake their heads, among other symptoms. Parents can assist in creating a reasonable schedule for work and sleep for their children, ensuring they get enough rest and encouraging them not to carry too much psychological pressure.
