What does Tourette syndrome do to the body?

Answer 1

Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder that normally occurs in childhood. People with Tourette Syndrome tic, and tics are repetitive movements that they can't control. People with Tourette Syndrome can grow out of it, and they can be just as successful as someone without Tourette Syndrome. Roughly 2% of Americans have Tourette Syndrome, yet a lot of people still know nothing about the disorder.
