Question
Our child suddenly starts twitching for no apparent reason during ordinary times, and they say this condition could be epilepsy. We are very worried and want to know, which department does pediatric tic disorder belong to? What should we pay attention to in daily life to alleviate such symptoms?
Answer
Pediatric tic disorder is a mental disorder of unknown etiology, primarily treated with psychological therapy. Therefore, such diseases should be under the psychology department. The psychology department may not be established in lower-level hospitals, so if these diseases need to be examined and treated in a hospital, it is recommended to go to a third-level hospital for psychological counseling and treatment. Under the guidance of the doctor, we should encourage the child, etc.
