Stereotypic Movement Disorder
It is usually observed in childhood, when repetitive movements are noticed that draw the attention of the family or caregivers. Stereotypic movement disorder is characterized by repeated, rhythmic movements that appear to have no purpose, such as rocking, hand flapping, or tapping, which the person repeats involuntarily.
Common characteristics: The movements tend to appear during moments of concentration, excitement, or tiredness, and can vary in intensity.
When is it worth evaluating? When the movements interfere with daily activities, cause injuries, or generate concern in the family.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician and the psychologist are the ones who usually evaluate this condition and guide support. If you notice these behaviors persistently, discussing it during a visit allows you to receive appropriate guidance.
