Children's Mental Health: Listen Up! Tourette’s - An Opportunity to Learn from the Experts
In this episode, consultant child psychiatrist and NHS England GIRFT Clinical Lead for Children and Young People’s Neurodevelopmental Services, Dr. Holan Liang, discusses how Tourette’s Syndrome presents in children and young people. She provides an in-depth look at the assessment process, evidence-based management strategies, and the complexities regarding common co-occurring conditions such as ADHD. Dr. Liang also highlights the crucial role of awareness and understanding among those around young people with tics in providing effective support. Dr Liang finishes with the latest scientific research on interventions for tics, covering psychotherapeutic models, medications, and emerging approaches such as nerve stimulation.
We also hear the inspiring story of Kian and his mother, Jigna, as they share their journey with Tourette’s. They also discuss their advocacy work, shedding light on the challenges faced by children and young people with neurodevelopmental conditions and their caregivers.
In the final segment, Lucy Toghill, Education Manager at Tourette’s Action, joins the conversation to outline the support and resources available for children and young people through charitable organisations.
