Quality of Life in Children and Teenagers with Tourette Syndrome and Possible Factors Involved

In this paper, I postulate that the quality of life of patients with Tourette Syndrome would be altered by three pathways: severity of tics, manifestation of NOSIS and other complex tics, and ability to solve social problems. These three pathways would be related to inhibition function. However, from the results obtained it cannot be concluded that there is a clear deficit in inhibition function in terms of interference control. These children also do not seem to present a worse resolution of social problems, but they would be more dependent on the relationship with their caregivers the more intense, complex, and frequent the tics were. Children with ST of this sample have better perception of themselves, better relationship with parents and better relationship with friends than normotypical children, although they enjoy less autonomy and less economic resources.

Non suicidal self-injury: a short review

Non suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is one of two basic types of self-destructive behavior together with suicidal self-harm (SSI). There is no consensus if they should be considered as two different entities since they usually coincide in time. But what does seem clear is that both types of self-injurious behavior differ in some respects. In this brief review we will try to analyze the most important aspects of this behavior.
