What Is Tourette Syndrome?
3. General Symptoms
Tourette syndrome will cause the patient to make erratic movements and sounds. Before this happens, though, the patient is likely to feel a bodily sensation that is quite often and the tic will help to bring relief. Even though the patient will often know that a tic is coming, they are usually powerless over stopping it.
The movements and sounds are more likely to happen when the patient is feeling stressed or anxious. Excitement can also cause outbursts, and tiredness can also make them more likely. The symptoms will often appear in childhood and will get worse when they become teenagers. The symptoms will often improve as the patient becomes an adult, however.
