Using various scales and questionnaires, an assessment of tic hyperkinesis, the level of anxiety, a study of the rational, emotional and behavioral components of the relationship between parents and a child, an investigation of the emotional sphere, and neuropsychological testing were carried out. Results. Manifestations of ticks contribute to various stressful situations, school adaptation stress. The tics are intensified by emotional overstrain, mental overwork, eye strain. A risk factor for the formation of tic hyperkinesis is family education by the type of symbiosis and hypersocialization.
