Parents' misconceptions about Tourette's syndrome
Myth 1: The treatment method is incorrect, blind treatment, and rushing
We all know that after the child suffers from Tourette's syndrome, it will have a great impact on the growth and development of the child, and many parents often choose the wrong treatment method because they are more anxious when treating their children, or listen to the so-called advertisements that the disease can be cured soon. The treatment of Tourette's syndrome is a long process, and the length of treatment depends on the patient's condition, not that the sooner the better.
Myth 2: Blind medication
Some parents, when treating their children for Tourette's syndrome, after a period of treatment, feel that the effect is not obvious, so they feel that the drugs their children are using now have no effect, and it is wrong to change the child's dressing or change the hospital treatment, which will directly affect the child's treatment effect.
Myth 3: It's good to grow up with Tourette's syndrome, is this really the case?
In fact, when children grow up and become adults, the pressure will become more and more intense, and when they encounter Xi school tension, work difficulties, life adversity, etc., Tourette's syndrome will break out again. Especially in important social situations, mental stress will also bring great obstacles to personal social and psychological growth. Therefore, the sooner Tourette's syndrome should be intervened, the better, and parents should not take it lightly.
Myth 4: Tourette's syndrome ≠ ADHD
The essence of Tourette's syndrome and ADHD is "movement", but tics are more manifested as "movement" of muscles, while hyperactivity is more manifested as excessive "small movements". ADHD is a mild brain dysfunction syndrome, also known as a disorder in the development of Xi learning skills, which is mainly manifested as inattention, inattentiveness, distraction, and excessive movements. It's still not the same as Tourette's syndrome, so parents don't get confused.
