tic disorders (e.g., tourette's syndrome)

Tic disorders, including Tourette's syndrome, are neurological conditions characterized by involuntary movements and vocalizations known as tics. These tics can be both simple, such as eye blinking or throat clearing, or complex, involving coordinated actions or the utterance of words. These disorders may begin in childhood and can vary in severity, with symptoms often fluctuating over time. While the exact cause is unknown, genetic and environmental factors are believed to play a role in the development of tic disorders. Treatment options aim to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
