Subtypes of tic disorders in children and adolescents: based on clinical characteristics
Our study identified two novel TD subtypes, highlighting its heterogeneity. Subtype 1 had more severe attention deficits and impulsivity, requiring comprehensive treatment, while subtype 2 had milder symptoms, focusing on support and monitoring. These findings provide insights into TD classification and may help refine treatment strategies. However, the cross-sectional design limits causal interpretations, and reliance on parent-reported data may introduce bias.
