Tourette syndrome is a neurological condition characterized by uncontrollable tics (twitches) of both body and voice, Tourette is famous because many people’s vocal tics include obscenities. Effects vary from person to person, but are almost always embarrassing and psychologically painful for those who have them, and can create problems at work and in social situations. TS is a diagnosis that doctors make after verifying that the patient has had both motor and vocal tics for at least 1 year. The existence of other neurological or psychiatric conditions can also help doctors arrive at a diagnosis. Common tics are not often misdiagnosed by knowledgeable clinicians.
