Question
I have a friend who has been experiencing tics recently, and I want to know where in Taiwan I can find a specialist hospital for treating tic disorders. Additionally, how can tic disorders be prevented?
Answer
In Taiwan, treatment for tic disorders can be sought at municipal or higher-level specialist hospitals. The occurrence of tic disorders may be related to the lead content in daily diet. To prevent tic disorders, it is recommended to adjust the diet structure, increase the intake of vegetables, fruits, lean meat, and high-protein foods, which all help to expel lead from the body. It is advisable to consult with a doctor’s professional opinion during the treatment process.
