Tourette Syndrome

Tourette syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by motor and vocal tics that typically emerges in childhood. Children with Tourette syndrome often experience comorbid mental health conditions, including ADHD, OCD, and anxiety disorders. Comprehensive treatment approaches for Tourette syndrome in youth may include behavioural therapy, medication, and educational accommodations to address both tics and associated mental health challenges.
