Tourette syndrome primarily affects children and adolescents, yet its impact on their daily lives has not been thoroughly researched.
A study involving 62 adolescents analyzed their experiences at school, home, and socially, focusing on which aspects of Tourette syndrome presented the most challenges and their future outlook.
Key findings indicated that tic severity worsened school challenges, comorbidities impacted social interactions, and younger patients expressed more negative feelings about their futures, with social stigma being a recurring theme.
