Chronic Motor Tic Disorder
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Chronic motor tic disorder is a neurological condition characterized by involuntary, sudden, and repetitive movements of one or more muscle groups, which persist for more than a year. It usually begins in childhood, and its intensity can vary over time.
Frequent symptoms: repeated blinking, facial grimacing, shoulder shrugging, or head jerking that the person does not fully control and that tend to increase with stress or tiredness.
When is it advisable to seek care? When the tics interfere with daily life, school performance, or emotional well-being, or when they cause distress in the person who has them.
Which specialist treats it? Its evaluation corresponds to the psychiatrist and, in minors, the child psychiatrist, who assess the case individually. If you notice these movements in yourself or your child, it is worth consulting one of these professionals to better understand the situation.
