Tics are the name given to combinations of repetitive movements and sounds that occur suddenly and suddenly. While only one muscle group works in simple tics, more than one muscle group works in complex tics, resulting in a set of movements that may be inappropriate but purposeful. The most important feature we need to consider when evaluating a tic is the impact of tics on the person's functionality and how disruptive their effect is on their daily life. In tic questioning, the impact of tics on the person's social, family, academic or business life should be questioned. Although very rare, tics can also cause serious physical damage that can lead to blindness due to retinal detachment. Tics can be suppressed optionally, even for a short time. However, tic suppression causes a feeling of internal filling and pressure and emerges after a while, more severe than before.
Tics are traditionally divided into motor and vocal tics
Motor tics usually appear between the ages of 3 and 8, usually with simple facial tics such as eye blinking. Vocal tics often appear after several years. In general, tics peak at onset in the teens and decrease with adolescence. It is known that tics flare up in some periods and subside in other periods.
Tic Disorders (TB) and Comorbid Diagnoses
Simultaneous and consecutive diagnoses with TB can often be seen. It can be seen together with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorders, specific learning disorder, anger management problems, and self-harming behaviors.
Treatment
When deciding on treatment It is important to consider the degree to which tics cause distress and impair functionality. Drug treatment should be considered in case of accompanying psychiatric diseases that cause a serious decrease in quality of life.
