Tourette syndrome in children is a chronic neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by involuntary, sudden, and multiple tics, primarily manifested as explosive vocalizations and motor tics, often accompanied by coprolalia. It is more common in boys than girls, with most cases occurring between the ages of 4 and 12. Once diagnosed, psychological interventions can be implemented, including behavioral therapy, supportive counseling, and family therapy. The main goals are to help parents and teachers understand the nature and characteristics of the disorder, alleviate parental anxiety and concerns, properly organize the child's daily schedule and activities, and avoid excessive stress and fatigue.
