Pumpkin October TouretteConnect
It's October, and while many of us are making plans to celebrate Halloween we cannot ignore some important causes the month sheds light upon. October is National Bullying Prevention Month, ADHD Awareness Month and OCD Awareness Week. Tourette Syndrome is an extremely layered and complex disorder and remains so vastly misunderstood among the general public. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and because of this, the TAA partners with like-minded organizations that support our efforts. I encourage you to reflect on your journey with Tourette Syndrome and if you’ve been impacted by any of the above, please send us your personal story to help us join their efforts in elevating awareness for TS and co-occurring conditions.

Join the TAA for a FREE webinar where Dr. Erica Greenberg will discuss the basics of obsessive-compulsive disorder, including when and how it typically presents and the current treatments options. She will focus on “early-onset” OCD - OCD that arises in late childhood and/or early adolescence and will discuss in detail “Tourettic OCD” – the type of OCD more frequently seen in children/adolescents with tic disorders. Dr. Greenberg will also discuss how to begin to separate OCD-compulsions from complex tics, and why that differentiation may be informative from a treatment perspective.
