TS, or Tourette Syndrome, is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. These tics can be motor, such as blinking or head jerking, or vocal, like grunting or throat clearing. The severity and frequency of tics can vary widely among individuals and may change over time.
The exact cause of TS is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve genetic and environmental factors. While there is no cure, various treatments, including behavioral therapy and medication, can help manage symptoms. Many individuals with TS lead successful and fulfilling lives despite the challenges posed by the disorder.
