Changwon Tourette Syndrome? When symptoms of pediatric tic disorder appear in a child

Key points
I am Chief Director of Magic Korean Medicine Clinic, meeting with parents in the clinic who are very worried about tics and Tourette's syndrome.
Parents often come to the clinic in surprise when a child who previously only blinked their eyes or wrinkled their nose suddenly starts making "mmm" sounds.
They also often say that they scolded him a few times, thinking it was a habit, but it actually got worse.

I am Chief Director the Magic Korean medicine clinic specializing in treating headaches and dizziness whose causes are not easily revealed through examinations.
Most people who visit our Korean medicine clinic for headaches or dizziness have already undergone various tests.
There are many people who say they have had brain scans taken at a neurology clinic and ear examinations at an ENT clinic, but were told that there were no particular abnormalities.

I am Chief Director of Magic Korean Medicine Clinic, having treated tic symptoms in adults and children for over 20 years.
When treating adult patients, I almost invariably hear them say that they had a habit of blinking their eyes or clearing their throats when they were young.
People say that it subsided around middle school and they thought they were fully recovered, but it returned during periods of significant life change, such as getting a job, changing careers, marriage, or raising children.
