Tourette syndrome is a neurological condition characterized by uncontrollable repetitive movements or sounds (tics), such as jerking your shoulders, blinking your eyes, or uttering offensive words or sounds.
Males are about three to four times more likely to develop Tourette syndrome than females, with onset typically occurring between the ages of 2 and 15, with an average age of around 6 years.
CausesNeurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, are chemicals in the brain that transmit nerve impulses; their exact cause of the complex disorder known as Tourette syndrome is unknown.
Tourette syndrome is characterized by tics, which are sudden, fleeting, intermittent movements or noises.
Tics are classified as:
·Simple tics.A small number of muscle groups are involved in these abrupt, fleeting, and repetitive tics.
·Complex tics.These distinctive, timed movement patterns use a number of different muscle groups.
Motor tics typically start before vocal tics do, but the range of tics that people experience is wide. Tics can also involve movement (motor tics) or sounds (vocal tics).
In addition , tics can:
Variety of type, frequency, and severity
Gets worse if you’re sick, anxious, stressed, exhausted, or ecstatic.
· Occur during sleep
· Change over time
Get worse when a person is first entering adolescence and get better as they approach adulthood.
With great effort, some people with Tourette syndrome can momentarily stop or hold back a tic. Premonitory urges, such as an itch, a tingle, or tension, are likely to be experienced before the onset of motor or vocal tics. Expression of the tic brings relief.
Risk factorsTourette syndrome risk factors include:
Family history.The likelihood of developing Tourette syndrome may be increased by a family history of the condition or other tic disorders.
Sex.The likelihood of developing Tourette syndrome is roughly three to four times higher in men than in women.
ComplicationsTourette syndrome frequently involves behavioral and social challenges that can harm your self-image, despite the fact that most people with Tourette syndrome lead healthy, active lives.
Tourette syndrome is frequently linked to the following conditions:
· Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
· Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
· Autism spectrum disorder
· Learning disabilities
· Sleep disorders
· Depression
· Anxiety disorders
Tic-related pain, particularly headache
· Anger-management problems
HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES
There are many effective medicines available in homoeopathy for treating tourette syndrome, but the choice depends on the individuality of the patient, taking into account the mental and emotional state as well as the physical state. Homoeopathy is a rapidly expanding system that is practiced all over the world. Its strength lies in its evident effectiveness as it takes a holistic approach towards the sick individual through promotion of inner balance at mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical levels.
