Factors associated with Tourette syndrome among adolescents in Taiwan: A cross-sectional correlational study
Adolescents with Tourette syndrome (TS) may suffer from learning difficulties (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), challenges in interpersonal interactions (especially with peers), disruptions of daily routines (disruptive behavior disorders), and increased psychosocial stress, which can result in internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems, such as venting depression and stress through self-harm. The aim of this study was to investigate peer attachment in adolescents with TS and associated risk factors.
