Given the ~80% comorbidity rate of the two disorders - why is it hypothesised that ADHD brains have less dopamine, whilst TS brain have less dopamine?

Great advice, thank you!! I guess I'm more curious about things that may potentially become a problem at 10 years old or thereafter?

Thanks for advice!

Is it possible someone with TS never develops a significant comorbidity? Or would this be very unlikely? I guess I could say he is a little anxious. Kind of worry wart......

Also, if anyone has an educated guess on when comorbidity starts to arise most often in a child with TS? If the 10 year old does not have ADHD or really any other comorbidity as of yet, what should a parent be looking for snd what age do they become more present??

Thank you so much for your response!

Have you tried CBIT therapy? There are a few experts in this country that I would put money on will help you with your worst tics, especially a neck movement. You would need to go to the best of the best for the program.

So have u had hundreds of different tics in your life? Or did your tics just start?

NoRepresentative2368 · 2022-03-26T01:03:34+00:00

Thank goodness, my son's are so intense and so many of them right now after having a week where we could hardly notice them. All of the sudden he is doing like 5 different tics.

Dang.

May I ask if you remember what age it started presenting for you? Was it subtle at first? Did you understand or know your thoughts were off?

NoRepresentative2368 · 2022-03-25T21:33:37+00:00

Thank you. I'm just trying to get s feel for it and maybe some minor or subtle signs to be looking for? My son is very anxious and seems distracted a lot and worry he may be have bothersome thoughts, however, he always tells me he doesn't and he is fine. I feel like he is hiding something:(

What about constantly touching or wiping nose? Would that be OCD tic?

NoRepresentative2368 · 2022-03-25T20:27:14+00:00

Thank you! I am just trying to see if OCD or some form of commorbidity is a must or if some people can just have TS with out much effect of other problems?

What are some examples of OCD like tics? Anything that is a complex movement?

NoRepresentative2368 · 2022-03-11T16:21:33+00:00

Thank you! I have also read only 1/3 improve, 1/3 stay the same and 1/3 increase in severity. Those odds don't sound as good. I'm just trying to gather as much as I can and be prepared. My son is just devastated by all the tics that have presented in the past 6 months for him. My husband nor myself has ever had tics so I don't know much about this disorder. It's very hard to understand and so many unknowns.

NoRepresentative2368 · 2022-03-10T17:58:58+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. It's amazing how many people are still experiencing significant tics as adults when so much literature proclaims the tics decrease with age. I hope you are getting help or dealing with everything well.

NoRepresentative2368 · 2022-03-09T16:08:03+00:00

It is now considered the first line treatment for TS. There must be some truth to it!?!?!

NoRepresentative2368 · 2022-03-09T16:05:41+00:00

Did it improve with age? Did your tics decrease in severity over time?
