Help for my 22yo son that suffers from severe Tourette syndrome

Thank you. He was on medication when he was younger for both turrets and adhd as well. One medication made it so much worse. He's not wanting to do medication again. His has become so bad in the last year I don't even know how he functions. He amazes me sometimes but I need to see if behavioral therapy is an option for where he lives plus he doesn't have insurance besides I think state insurance. Thank you

Good Morning
So sorry I was not able to help.
Yes, we were warned that some of the meds for ADHD could worsen the Tourette's.
Therefore the progression of meds were done very slowly.
I know that at one time, there were hospitals that offered therapy for people without insurance.
It was not free, but they worked on a sliding scale.
Just a thought.
Good luck!!!!!!!
