What Are the Symptoms and Risks of Pediatric Tic Disorder?

Question

What are the symptoms of pediatric tic disorder? What are the risks associated with it?

Answer

The risks of pediatric tic disorder include: interfering with concentration, severe tics making it difficult for the child to focus their eyes on books. If the child does not receive timely and effective treatment, especially if the tics cannot be suppressed, it can seriously disrupt their interaction with classmates and peers, leading to feelings of inferiority, social withdrawal, immature behavior, social difficulties, stammering, and disciplinary problems. This severely hinders their social interactions and interpersonal relationships.
