What Is Tourette Syndrome?
1. Tourette Syndrome
Tourette syndrome is a condition that is often seen as a source of amusement for some people. While it may be funny on the outside looking in, however, it is a condition that can be very distressing for the patient, and for people who are close to them. The condition causes the patient to perform actions and sounds involuntarily.
The actions and sounds will often not be easy to notice as being part of a problem. This can include things like coughing and nose twitching. In other cases, the symptoms can be far more striking and can draw a lot of attention to the patient. This can include things like making repetitive movements and inappropriate, profane outbursts.
