Tiki nerwowe - terapia i leczenie

 

Tics are sudden, uncontrollable movements, gestures or sounds.

They can occur individually or form whole sequences. Tic intensity varies depending on the person they appear to.

They get worse in a stressful situation and disappear during sleep.

 

The first tick reactions are observed in many schoolchildren (usually between 10 and 11 years old).

 

We can divide tics into transient (motor or voice tics for at least 4 weeks) and chronic tics (symptoms for at least a year).

 

Causes of tics

 

Tiki is a disorder caused by both biological and psychological factors. In some cases, the reason for their occurrence are abnormalities in brain structures (mainly in the subcortical nuclei and the cortex). Stress situations are the most common trigger for tick reactions.

 

Types of tics

 

Movement tics are fast, short-term, coordinated muscle contractions preceded by feelings of discomfort and tension. 

They usually appear in states of strong emotional arousal.

Motion tics include: frowning, raising eyebrows, blinking eyes, shaking head, biting lips, touching other people, jumping and kicking.

 

Vocal tics are the involuntary release of sounds or words. 

Vocal tics include: grunting, barking, hiccups, whistling, repetition of words heard.

 

Sensory tics are sensations that usually have a repetitive localization. 

Sensory tics include: pins and needles, tickling, itching or heat.

 

Tics treatment

 

The treatment is dealt with by a psychologist who teaches how to control the occurring tics during therapy. Treatment is carried out individually or in groups. 

In some cases, pharmacological agents are included in the treatment.
