What Is Tourette Syndrome?
10. Therapy
In addition to medication, therapy can also be effective in treating Tourette syndrome. This includes psychotherapy that can help the patient to deal with other mental health conditions that are associated with the syndrome. This includes helping the patient to manage conditions like depression and anxiety.
Behavioral therapy may also be used, which will help the patient to learn how to identify urges and control their tics. Deep brain stimulation is another potential treatment for Tourette syndrome, although it is still in development. This involves using a device that delivers electricity to certain areas in the brain that control movement.
