Transient Tic Disorder treatment in Santiago de Querétaro

Transient tic disorder is characterized by sudden, rapid, repetitive movements or sounds that a person makes involuntarily. It is most common in childhood and, as its name suggests, tends to appear for a limited period of time.

How it shows up: frequent blinking, facial grimaces, shoulder shrugging, throat clearing, or noises that come and go over time.

What plays a role: fatigue, excitement, or stress can make the tics more noticeable.

Which specialist treats it? The neurologist—and for children, the pediatric neurologist along with the pediatrician—evaluates this type of movement, while the psychologist supports the emotional side. If the tics worry the family or persist, discussing them with a professional helps guide follow-up.
