\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.
\citep{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, \citep{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.
