Tourette Syndrome Psychology
What is Tourette syndrome?
Tourette Syndrome is a neurological condition that involves repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalisations known as tics. Tics can be motor (like blinking or head jerking) or vocal (like grunting or throat clearing). The onset typically occurs in childhood, and while the exact cause isn't fully understood, it’s believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

The impact of Tourette syndrome on daily life can vary widely, depending on the severity of your tics. Common challenges include:
