Our results confirm prior studies suggesting that tics are caused by alterations in prefrontal areas, thalamus and putamen, while changes in the cingulate gyrus seem to reflect secondary compensatory mechanisms. Due to the study design, influences from comorbidities, gender, medication and age can be...
Studies suggest that high sugar consumption can contribute to the development of anxiety and depression. Chronic inflammation caused by excess sugar affects neurotransmitter function, leading to an imbalance in serotonin and dopamine levels. This can result in feelings of sadness, restlessness, or an o...
Alpha-2-adrenergic agonists may aid in the treatment of related issues such as attention deficit, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, as well as in the reduction of tics. Because alpha-2-adrenergic agonists can have drowsiness as a side effect, they should be avoided during the day although they ...

of the cough, as the percentage of asymptomatic infection can be very high (54%) [125]. In children who received the acellular pertussis vaccination, pertussis infection is clinically difficult to distinguish from diseases associated with coughing caused by other viral or bacterial infections [126]...
Female, but not male, TRH-R2 knockout mice exhibit moderately increased depression-like and reduced anxiety-like phenotypes. Because the behavioral changes in TRH-R1 knockout mice may have been caused secondarily by their hypothyroidism whereas TRH-R2 knockout mice are euthyroid, these data provide...

Oh, and I'm also on Trazodone, Lexapro (again), and another type of medication for calming me down if I get really angry. In the past I have taken Zoloft, Ritalin, and Lexapro. I'm obviously guessing that these events, anxiety and things are triggering my nervous tics to a greater ...
Functional neurological disorders (FNDs) occur when a person develops symptoms such as paralysis, dystonia, tremors, sensory disturbance, speech problems or seizures which are not caused by neurolo...
While anxiety disorders are often characterised by a fear or anticipation of future perceived threats, depressive disorders are characterised by pervasive low mood, diminished interest in or pleasure from activities, and disturbances in cognitive functioning (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
