What is torett?

Tourette's syndrome, also known as Tourette syndrome, is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the nervous system and causes repetitive involuntary movements and vocalizations known as tics. Tics can be simple or complex and may involve movements or sounds including eye blinking, facial grimacing, head jerking, shoulder shrugging, throat clearing, grunting, or repeating words or phrases.

The cause of Tourette's syndrome is not fully understood, but it is thought to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It is commonly diagnosed in childhood and can affect a person throughout their life, although symptoms may improve or become less frequent over time.

There is no cure for Tourette's syndrome, but treatments are available to manage symptoms, including medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. People with Tourette's syndrome can still lead a full and productive life with proper management.
