What is Tourette syndrome?

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that may cause sudden, unwanted, and uncontrolled rapid and repeated movements or vocal sounds called tics. TS is one of a group of disorders of the developing nervous system called tic disorders.

It is a disability.



People with Tourette syndrome may have co-occurring conditions, namely other mental, behavioural, or developmental conditions that may be present before the onset of tics. While tics are the primary symptoms, these co-occurring conditions may cause more problems and be more bothersome than the tics themselves.
