Tourettes

  • Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterised by multiple tics, which are usually sudden, repetitive involuntary movements and sounds.
  • There is no cure for Tourette syndrome, however the tics can improve over years and sometimes go away completely. There are treatments to help manage the tics.
  • Tics can be affected if you are stressed, tired or feel anxious. It can be exhausting trying to mask or control tics in social situations, like a classroom or in public, so there may be a build up of tics afterwards.
