Transient tic disorder - what does this mean
Transient tic disorder is a type of tic disorder that is characterized by brief, repetitive, non-rhythmic, involuntary movements or vocalizations (such as blinking, shrugging, or throat clearing). it typically begins in childhood and can last for a few months to a few years. it can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, anxiety, and environmental triggers.
What happens during the disease - transient tic disorder
Transient tic disorder is caused by a combination of environmental and genetic factors. it is believed that the disorder is triggered by an imbalance in the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, which can be caused by stress, fatigue, or other environmental factors. this imbalance leads to an increase in the frequency of tics, which can be both motor and vocal in nature. additionally, genetic factors may play a role in the development of the disorder, as it is more common in individuals with a family history of tic disorders.
