What happens after tic suppression may matter as much as whether a child can suppress their tics.

New paper: 473 young people with tics:

🔹 ADHD traits linked to 2.64x greater odds of tic worsening after suppression

🔹 Autistic traits linked to tic onset ~2.4 years earlier

It's OCD Awareness Week. Each day this week our group will release one preprint from our OCD work: free to read, data on OSF, open to challenge.

Thank you to @Waitrose for supporting @OCDAction - a charity doing incredible work to ensure that people living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder have access to understanding, evidence-based support and a community that truly gets it.

Can individual traits influence treatment response in Tourettic OCD?

Grateful for the opportunity to present our poster. Pilot study (n=7): a 12-week hybrid ERP+HbRT intervention improved tic and OCD severity. Higher impulsivity predicted poorer response.

Moments like the Sunday night’s #BAFTA incident remind us that although certain neuropsychiatric symptoms can be involuntary, yet their impact remains real.

Public understanding must hold both compassion for an illness like #Tourettes & sensitivity to societal prejudices. The path forward is neither denial nor blame. Education remains the best antidote.

Below is a short thread on the essentials of #coprolalia in Tourette syndrome, based on observations made over ten years while running a specialist Tourette clinic at #NHNN @uclh

Thank You to @The_BNPA for putting together such an incredible conference! It was an honor to present our work on Sleep Patterns in Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome and to be recognized with a prize!

@RahulChotai Extremely insightful post Rahul. I would tremendously value the opportunity to talk about how the substantial degree of psychological pressure can be mitigated and how we could use psychological theories to enhance both driver and team performance.

Extremely grateful for the @neurolib team for allowing me access to this text by Sigmund Freud. The collection of rare books, archives and manuscripts, dating from the 4th century to the present day is absolutely outstanding. @UCLSpecColl

17 people die by suicide everyday, 5 are in contact with a mental health service and 4 of those had contact with a mental health service...why were the 12 not reached by services? @ASWhittington
