In children with tics, more than half of them will have comorbid ADHD. They often have a diagnosis of ADHD first and then a diagnosis of tics. The damage to hyperactivity symptoms is more serious than the impairment of psychological function caused by tic symptoms.

Child ADHD is a common mental and psychological disease in childhood mainly composed of impaired attention, excessive activity and impulsiveness. Child tic disorder is a neuropsychiatric disease in childhood with episodic movements and vocal tics as the main manifestations. The comorbidity rate of the two is still very high, and nearly half of children diagnosed with ADHD will have comorbid tics.

Children with ADHD will have many learning difficulties due to inattention, such as insufficient concentration in class, delayed homework, and unwilling to write, and children's emotional fluctuations are relatively large. On this basis, if parents are too suppressed and strong, some children will have tic symptoms in the process of suppressing emotions.
If ADHD is a minor brain function impairment and tics are a problem of central and peripheral nervous systems development, then the common disease between the two is the simultaneous functional impairment of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.

Director Zhong Qinghui believes that when ADHD comorbid tic disorder, the diagnostic criteria must meet the diagnostic criteria of these two respectively. The peak of symptoms is about ten years old, and a considerable number of children with tics have ADHD symptoms. When ADHD and tics are coexisting, not only will the child’s pain and worries increase, but the pressure parents will also feel is also very huge.
