Tourette Syndrome treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Tourette syndrome is a disorder of the nervous system characterized by tics, that is, involuntary and repeated movements or sounds. It usually begins in childhood and its intensity can vary over time.

Common symptoms: motor tics, such as blinking or gestures, and vocal tics, such as throat-clearing or sounds, that the person does not fully control.

Which specialist treats it? The neurologist, and in children the pediatric neurologist, evaluate this condition; the psychiatrist, the child psychiatrist, and the psychologist can support the approach according to needs. If a child has tics that cause concern or affect daily life, discussing it with a professional helps guide follow-up.
