๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ง๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐ (๐๐) is a neurological condition that causes involuntary movements and sounds known as tics. These tics are not something a child can control, and while they may come and go or change over time, they are a very real part of your childโs daily experience.
For many children, the impact of Tourette Syndrome goes beyond the tics themselves. Living with TS can affect mental wellbeing in ways that arenโt always visible. Children may:
โข Feel anxious about when a tic might happen
โข Try to suppress tics at school, leading to exhaustion or overwhelm at home
โข Experience frustration, shame, or embarrassment
โข Struggle with self-esteem, especially if they feel โdifferentโ
โข Face challenges with friendships or misunderstandings from others
Itโs also common for children with TS to have co-occurring conditions such as ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐, or ๐๐ง๐ฑ๐ข๐๐ญ๐ฒ, which can further affect how they feel and cope day-to-day.
