10 Tourette's Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #9: Barking
Our vocal cords are capable of making a wide range of sounds. Not only does this enable us to speak a complex language, but it also allows us to sing, and even impersonate other animals. People with Tourette’s syndrome are prone to making barking sounds, as well as a range of other unusual sounds.
These sounds are often made suddenly and without warning. They can happen in mid-sentence and disrupt the patient’s flow. However, they are more than able to hold conversations even with these occasional interruptions. This symptom is considered a simple vocal tic.
