my son has Tourette with OCD and anxiety. He has found dietary changes really helpful (many chemical/artificial additives to foods trigger OCD and tics for him) and he also takes special supplements that have helped, and he did a course of Cognitive Behavioral therapy that was also helpful.
He is 18yo now and doing really well. But back in the prepubertal years it was very debilitating for him

I really understand how you are feeling as my child's OCD/anxiety have always been far more troubling to him than his tics.

without knowing more about your child's dx, meds etc I dont want to mention any specific supplements etc that have helped mine

just want to encourage you though that there are ways to improve things like anxiety/OCD
