More than half of the children with a TS diagnosis included from than 2016-2017 National Survey of Children´s Health data on children from 6 to 17 years, had experienced bullying victimization, and around 20% had experienced bullying perpetration, which was more frequent than in children without TS \citep{34050089}.
A longitudinal clinical cohort study showed that the academic achievement was decreased in children with TS and the severity of comorbidities was shown to have a bigger influence on the education than tic severity \cite{Lund2022}.
\citet{Atkinson-Clement2022} examined the consequences of TS on adolescents´ daily living by using a text mining approach. Social stigma was shown to be the most common issue faced by patients with TS. Severity of tics had an especially an impact on daily life at school while comorbidities mostly were related to social daily living and risk of depression.
A large Swedish cohort study with more than 13 million individuals and almost 7,800 individuals with TS or chronic tic disorders (CTD), it was found that persons with TS or CTD did have an increased risk of experiencing any violent assault and violent and nonviolent crime convictions \cite{Mataix-Cols2022}. The presence of comorbid ADHD and substance use disorders increased this risk.
\cite{Lee2022} explored the role of self-esteem in mediating the relationship between psychosocial stress and social adjustment among adolescents with GTS. The authors found that self-esteem fully mediates the relationship between their psychosocial stress and social adjustment, while comorbidities moderate the relationship between self-esteem and social adjustment.
\cite{Ricketts2022c} described impairment in academic, interpersonal, recreational and family financial or occupational domains accross children in three groups: with GTS, ADHD and both disorders. Children with ADHD (with or without TS) experienced greater degree of impairment in overall school performance, writing, and mathematics, relative to children with TS but not ADHD. More children with TS and ADHD had problematic handwriting relative to children with ADHD but not TS. More children with TS and ADHD had problematic interpersonal relationships relative to those with ADHD but not TS. Children with TS and ADHD had higher mean impairment across domains than children with either TS or ADHD.
\citet{Soós2022} investigated the online support available for tic disorders by an inductive thematic analysis of posts and comments. They suggest that online support communities might be valuable in sharing and gaining information on tics from other patients.
\cite{Hall2022} examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals with tics. They compared YGTSS pre and post pandemic in 112 children and adolescents with tics. There were no significant differences in tic symptom or severity between participants who were assessed before and during COVID-19.
Similarly, \cite{Termine2022} published the results of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown on individuals with tics. The authors included 49 children with tics and 245 matched controls whom were asked to provide information about lockdown-related changes to daily activities. More than a half of patients reported perceived changes in tic severity, restlessness and irritability during the pandemic.
