Morning Light Therapy for Tourette's Disorder

Each month The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation hosts a Meet the Scientist Webinar featuring a researcher discussing the latest findings related to mental illness. In August, 2023, the Foundation featured Dr. Emily Ricketts of the University of California, Los Angeles.
Description: Dr. Ricketts will discuss her research studies evaluating circadian rhythms and short-wavelength morning light therapy in children and adults with Tourette’s disorder. She will discuss the association between circadian timing and Tourette’s disorder, and the extent to which wearable, short-wavelength morning light therapy is associated with advances in circadian timing and improvements in tic severity, cooccurring psychiatric symptoms, and daytime functioning. Dr. Ricketts will also discuss the implications of this research for providing a non-pharmacological intervention for Tourette’s disorder.
