Which symptom is commonly treated in patients showing signs of Tourette's Disorder?

In patients with Tourette's Disorder, motor tics are the primary symptoms that are commonly treated. Tourette's is characterized by the presence of multiple motor tics and one or more vocal tics over a period of time. These tics may vary in intensity and can significantly impact the daily functioning and quality of life of an individual. Treatment often focuses on managing these motor tics, which may include behavioral therapies and, in some cases, medication to help reduce the severity and frequency of the tics.

While symptoms such as social withdrawal, sleep disturbances, and anxiety disorders can occur alongside Tourette's Disorder, they are not the hallmark symptoms of the condition itself. Treatments for these co-occurring issues may be important in a comprehensive care plan, but the focus remains on managing the motor tics that define Tourette's Disorder.
