Tic Disorders are a common neurological condition characterized by involuntary and repetitive tics in children and adolescents. Tics can include involuntary muscle movements like eye blinking, shoulder shrugging, head nodding, or vocal tics like making sounds. These tics can often worsen in stressful situations or under tension. Therapy focuses on helping children cope with tics and minimize their impact on their social lives. The therapist assesses the child's tics and triggering factors. During therapy, children are taught relaxation techniques for managing stress and tension. Additionally, they learn skills to become aware of their tics and reduce their duration and intensity. Through collaboration with families, efforts are made to create a more supportive environment in the child's daily life and at school, offering understanding and support. Therapy helps children reduce social discomfort caused by tics and prevent them from affecting their quality of life.
