Some people with Tourette’s syndrome may also experience other conditions, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, depression, or learning difficulties.
The effects of Tourette’s syndrome can vary from person to person. Some people may have mild tics that are not very noticeable or bothersome, while others may have severe tics that interfere with their communication, daily functioning, and quality of life. Some of the worst effects of Tourette’s syndrome are:
[ul][li]Physical pain or injury from frequent or violent tics, such as head jerking, biting, or hitting.[/li][li]Social isolation or stigma from being teased, bullied, or misunderstood by others because of the tics.[/li][li]Emotional distress or low self-esteem from feeling embarrassed, ashamed, or guilty about the tics.[/li][li]Academic or occupational difficulties from having trouble concentrating, following instructions, or completing tasks because of the tics or the associated conditions.[/li][li]Legal problems from unintentionally saying or doing something inappropriate or offensive because of the tics, such as swearing, gesturing, or touching.[/li][li]People with Tourette’s syndrome may benefit from various treatments, such as medication, behavioral therapy, counseling, education, and support groups. These treatments can help reduce the frequency and severity of the tics, improve the coping skills and self-confidence of the person with Tourette’s syndrome, and increase the awareness and acceptance of others about the condition.[/li][/ul]
