HiMy son aged 10 has just started to show signs of tic disorder. He involuntarily flicks his head and neck to one side. This has just started out of the blue. He seems very happy in himself, very popular, happy at home and school and we cant find any reason why he would feel stressed or anxious. Are there any ways in which we can help him. There isnt any known member of the family who suffers from this condition.Thank you.Lorraine
Hello, You should ideally meet a neurologist and get his scans as the condition has started suddenly without apparent stressor.it points to possible neurological origin.Maybe the doctor will ask his MRI brain and EEG and then proceed with appropriate treatment. Before examining the patient and tests it is not possible to give any Chat Doctor. Wish you good luck.
