Children's dirty words or touches
8 years old long long mouth is always unconsciously roar, still full of dirty words and no stop, parents to him as a cough for nearly a year, and constantly scolds for rough mouth, but his situation has not improved, instead of a day A serious trend.
to this, experts say: many of these children are innocent, only because of the Tourette syndrome, not the lack of mediation or "pretending". If the diagnosis is confirmed, systematic treatment must be carried out. "
" recommends that if a family has such a child, it is best to monitor it while actively treating it away from violent fighting movies and electric games, because all kinds of stressful mental stimulation may induce or aggravate the condition. "
three misunderstandings
experts say, for the treatment of Tourette syndrome, parents often have the following three misunderstandings:
misunderstanding one: totally relying on taking medicine to control
wrong! The disease is the nerve and the spirit. The psychological three combination of the disease, the need to carry out 3 aspects of the comprehensive treatment, although the effect of medicine is obvious, and can not be completely dependent on drugs, but should pay attention to the training of the psychological quality of children and the formation of good habits.
myth two: this disease is very bad for
in fact, although the symptoms are diverse and some are very scary, it has no effect on life and intelligence. Although to a certain extent, it may affect the children's mood and psychology, but positive treatment, the prognosis is good.
misunderstanding three: when the situation is better, we can stop drug
in fact, the treatment of this disease is a long-term process, and the tendency of relapse may occur during the treatment. If you do not comply with the doctor's advice, stopping your medicine can cause relapse, and the contents of the twitch will change after the recurrence, such as blinking your eyes before you stop it, and turning it into a neck.
men have more than 3 times more than
14 years old often like to say rude, and he is used to each point, and then scold a rude word. The parents had scolded him for this, and they had been treated as myoclonic epilepsy in the locals, unable to control his nod and curse.
"diligence and dragon are all diagnosed as Tourette syndrome. After systematic treatment, they have recovered and returned to school, continuing their studies." Professor Luo Xiangyang, director of neuroendocrinology specialist in Sun Yixian Memorial Hospital of Zhongshan University, said that Tourette syndrome is also called multiple spontaneous twitches, which is a common child behavior disorder syndrome. "The onset age is 1~21 years, with an average age of 6~7 years. Males were significantly more than females, at least 3 times more. Most cases of Tourette's disease occur at the age of 2~15, and preschool and school-age children are the peak population. 90% onset before age 10 is most prevalent at 5~9 years of age. He said.
symptoms: blinking and repetitive vocalizations
experts explained that the first symptom of this disease is exercise-induced or sounding twitch, which may appear or appear at the same time. "Usually with eye, face, or head twitch as the first symptom, such as a stiff blink, a crooked mouth, or a shaking head, can also be shown as the twitch of the neck, shoulder, limb, and even the trunk. Taking eye twitch as the first symptom accounted for 38% to 59%. Blinking is considered to be the most common first symptom of this disease. Repetitive sounding tic is also common. It is usually composed of throat clearing, dry cough, coarse mouth, nasal suction or screaming. He believes that parents should carefully distinguish between the above symptoms and children's bad habits. At the same time, many children will also show emotional disorders such as anxiety, irritability, temper, depression and so on.
Luo Xiangyang said that the etiology of Tourette syndrome has not yet been understood by the medical community, and it is estimated to be associated with extrapyramidal lesions. He reminded parents that, once they found their children's eyes and words, they could not simply think of a "lack of education" as a bad behavior. They could not be blamed for their children. They should go to a hospital and ask professional doctors to treat them.
treatment of Tourette's syndrome is not difficult. The earlier the intervention, the better the prognosis. He said that Tourette syndrome can interfere with the cognitive function and development of children in different degrees, and affect their ability to adapt to the society. Parents should pay attention to them. Family atmosphere and parents' attitude have a great influence on the child's condition.
experts suggest that in daily life, the children's activities and activities should be reasonably arranged to avoid excessive tension and fatigue, and to participate in rhythmic sports. "It needs to be reminded that all kinds of mental stimulation, such as scolding, reprimand, and frequent reminding, can induce this disease or make the child's condition aggravate, so parents must avoid the above situation." In addition, it is best not to let children watch intense fighting martial arts movies, do not let them play too many computer games, but also can reduce the participation of leisure activities. Once a child is attacked, the best way is to divert the child's attention. At the beginning of school and the exam period is the peak of the disease. Parents must be vigilant and pay attention to adjusting their children's emotions. He reminded.
