What does tourette syndrome look like?
Tourette syndrome is characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations known as tics. Tics can be motor, such as blinking, head jerking, or shoulder shrugging, and vocal, including throat clearing, grunting, or repetitive phrases. The severity and frequency of tics can vary widely among individuals and may be influenced by stress, excitement, or fatigue. While tics often begin in childhood, they can improve with age for some individuals.
What is Tourettes syndrome My boyfriens has it?
Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. These tics can be motor (such as blinking or head jerking) or vocal (such as grunting or throat clearing). The severity and frequency of tics can vary widely among individuals and may fluctuate over time. While there is no cure, various treatments, including behavioral therapy and medication, can help manage symptoms.
What is the distortion or impairment of voluntary movement of the tic?
The distortion or impairment of voluntary movement in the context of tics refers to the involuntary, repetitive muscle contractions or vocalizations that disrupt normal motor control. These tics can manifest as sudden, rapid movements (motor tics) or sounds (vocal tics), which the individual may feel compelled to perform despite being aware that they are inappropriate or unnecessary. This impairment can lead to difficulties in daily functioning and social interactions, as the tics can be distracting and socially stigmatizing. The underlying mechanisms often involve neurological factors, including abnormalities in the basal ganglia and related neurotransmitter systems.
Are Tourettes disorder and tics the same thing?
A repetitive movement that is difficult, if not impossible, to control. Tics can affect any group of muscles. The most common are facial tics, such as eye- blinking, nose-twitching, or grimacing. Tics that affect the muscles used to produce speech are known as vocal tics, and can range from grunts or whistles to the repetition of complete words or phrases. Complex motor tics involve multiple, sequenced movements, and can include behaviors such as twirling in place, tapping a certain number of times, or stooping to touch the ground. You can have a tic without having Tourette's Syndrome. Tourette's syndrome is a disorder that prominently features tics, often to the point of causing significant distress and problems functioning. It is more common in people with ADHD, obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety but it can occur on its own.

Has anyone experienced tremors or vocal tics while taking Strattera?
ADHD and Tourette's syndrome are closely related; some people have both of these together. When a physician is initially screening someone for ADHD, he or she should ask about vocal tics to see if the patient also may have Tourette's. Strattera (or any of the other ADHD medications) can sometimes bring out these behaviors in people (not cause them--just "unmask" them). If this is happening to you, speak with your physician. Hope this helps! Dr. B.
