/kloc-a 0/7-year-old boy was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome complicated with obsessive-compulsive disorder at the age of 6. Because I don't want to be seen by the outside world, I insist on covering my head with clothes, which leads to my inability to see the road clearly. When he arrived at the hospital, he had to ask his parents to push him in a wheelchair. Severe convulsions also affected his life. Even the teacher told him not to take the school exam. He was very depressed after trying many treatments. Fortunately, he was very depressed after several months of treatment with the new drug approved by Fu Wei's department.
Failure to understand Tourette's disease leads to its misunderstanding and misdiagnosis. Dr. Zhang Tongming explained that the main symptom of Tourette's syndrome is convulsion, that is, involuntary and repeated irregular movements or sounds, which are mainly manifested in head and neck movements, clearing throat and other symptoms, and even swearing indecent sounds. Due to the diversity of symptoms, many parents don't know Tourette's disease. They often take their children to various departments for medical treatment, and sometimes they are mistaken for cramps, which leads to a lot of eating by mistake.
Dr. Zhou Yiqing from the Department of Pediatric Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University further explained that Tourette's syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disease, which originates from the imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain. Although the exact cause is not clear, it is hereditary, and the incidence rate of boys is three to four times that of girls. The characteristic of Tourette's disease is that with the ups and downs of life, the symptoms will fluctuate, which will become obvious when encountering a cold or stress, and will be alleviated or disappeared when sleeping or concentrating. If parents can observe more carefully, they can avoid the chance of misdiagnosis of their children.
The treatment of Tourette's disease needs the understanding and support of the public. Dr. Zhang said that the main problem of many children with Tourette's syndrome is not the disease itself, but common diseases, such as learning and emotional problems caused by attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive behavior, headaches and allergies, which have a negative impact on children's studies and interpersonal relationships. Therefore, the most important thing before treatment is to establish the understanding and support of the surrounding public. If it really interferes with life and study, further use of drugs.
No longer misunderstood! Dr. Zhou Yiqing explained that in the past, the treatment of Tourette's syndrome was assisted by anti-dopamine drugs, but it often caused side effects such as drowsiness, unconsciousness and weight gain. This year, the Ministry of Welfare adopted Tourette's disease treatment drugs to regulate specific dopamine, which can reduce the occurrence of such side effects and effectively improve symptoms. In addition, parents can also cooperate with behavioral therapy to control troubled behavior in a short time.
Finally, the doctor appealed that Tourette's disease does not affect health and intelligence. Although they are often misunderstood as intentional interference, they often have some positive characteristics, such as high creativity, stubbornness in choosing kindness, understanding and so on. Parents should accept more children, recognize the disease as soon as possible, give assistance, and let Tourette's disease grow up happily.
