What is Tourette Syndrome?
Tourette syndrome, or Tourette's, is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, stereotyped, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. The early symptoms of Tourette's are typically noticed first in childhood, with the average onset between the ages of 3 and 9 years. Tourette's occurs in people from all ethnic groups; males are affected about three to four times more often than females.
Although Tourette's can be a chronic condition with symptoms lasting a lifetime, most people with the condition experience their worst tic symptoms in their early teens, with improvement occurring in the late teens and continuing into adulthood.
