Question about tics and stress

[mar]

Quick question. What I notice with ds is that any time of stress makes him tic. For example the neighbor and I are talking about something bad that happened that we seen in the news and ds hears us and his tics come out for that minute. He is very curious, he listens in to adult conversations all the time. Everyone we talk to on the block says that his ears are always wide open. He wants to know everything. But then he will worry about it. Stress and tics are a problem here. Is this something common in ts and pandas.

Hi Mar

yes, stress can trigger tics in people with TS, and hyper reactivity to stress is a symptom in PANDAS too
