Tic Disorder and Tourette’s Syndrome

About 1 in every 162 children have Tourette Syndrome, with the onset typically before the age of 18. The syndrome is often thought to go underdiagnosed.

Individuals with Tourette Syndrome may experience different vocal and motor tics that may wax and wane in intensity and number throughout the course of one’s development. Reduction in tics can happen within a few therapy sessions, while untreated symptoms can have long-lasting adverse effects.
