Tourettes is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. These tics can include things like blinking, facial grimacing, throat clearing, and making sounds or words that are out of context or inappropriate.
Tourettes usually appears in childhood, often around the age of 6 or 7, and tends to peak in severity during adolescence.

Many people with Tourettes also have other neurological or psychiatric conditions, such as ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or anxiety.
