Tourette's Syndrome

That depends if you are showing any of the symptoms.

Tourette's syndrome is not classified as an X-linked disease; rather, it is considered a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with a multifactorial inheritance pattern. While genetic factors play a significant role in its development, it is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Some studies suggest a potential link to specific genes, but these are not strictly tied to the X chromosome. Therefore, the inheritance of Tourette's syndrome does not follow the typical patterns of X-linked disorders.

Tourette syndrome cannot be cured, but its symptoms can be managed. Treatments may include behavioral therapy, medication, and support strategies that help individuals cope with and reduce the frequency of tics. While some people may experience a decrease in symptoms over time, others may continue to have tics into adulthood. It's important to work with a healthcare professional to find the most effective approach for managing the condition.

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.

You can get Tourette Syndrome genetically, and there is a 50% chance you will pass it on to your child. There is also the possibility that there is an imbalanced level of Dopamine in the patents' body, which results in tics.

Hope that helps!

its a genetic thing, you either have it at birth or not at all. it usually expresses itself about age 4, but it can be younger or older. if it starts when you are older than 18, you have to be checked by a doctor as this might be something more serious.

new answer: WRONG, shaking your head constantly doesnt hurt like running a marathon doesnt hurt, duh. u shake ur head all day, go to sleep, then you wake up with a neck thats so sore you can barely move it, but ur still shaking ur head. the other day it got so bad that whenever i twitched, my neck muscle would kinda sieze up. its not the tourettes itself that hurts it the muscle fatigue that hurts. you'd think i would have really huge traps right now, but i dont cause they're getting overtrained, so in all reality, the more i work them, the smaller they get, it sucks.

Once thought to be a rare disorder, TS is one of the most common genetic conditions

Poor manners.

Or perhaps you are thinking of Tourette's Syndrome.

Most people understand it as a disease that makes you shout out random things and most commonly, people with Tourette's will shout out curse words at adulthood during any type of random conversation.

For example, if you were to say, "May I sing a song for you?" (Stealing from dick figures) Instead, you would say, "May I sing a FUNKING song for you?" or "May I sing a FUNK for you?"

Answers.com won't let you say curse words in your answers.

It may predispose a person to TS

Lexapro, an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), is primarily used to treat depression and anxiety. While it is not specifically approved for Tourette syndrome, some studies suggest that SSRIs may help manage associated symptoms like anxiety or obsessive-compulsive behaviors, which can co-occur with Tourette syndrome. However, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for personalized treatment options, as responses to medications can vary.

It doesn't feel like anything, it feels like a muscle spasm. It is uncontrollable.

No, Tourette syndrome is a human disease. There are some neurologic conditions in animals in which similar signs can be observed, but the premonitory urges and recognition of the tics cannot be verified in humans. Therefore, while some animals may have outward symptoms similar to what may be seen in humans with Tourette syndrome, the condition in animals is not considered to be the same.
