Video Summary
Tourette syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. The tics can be simple, such as eye blinking or throat clearing, or complex, such as jumping or shaking one's head while shrugging the shoulders.
There is no cure for Tourette syndrome, but treatment can help manage symptoms. Medications such as antipsychotics can help reduce tics. Cognitive-behavioral therapy can also be effective in managing tics and associated symptoms.
