Tourette syndrome is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects about 0.5% to 0.7% of the population. It is characterized by involuntary movements and sounds called tics that usually begin in childhood and, for some people, continue into adulthood. Tics consist of movements, such as eye blinking or shoulder shrugging, or vocalizations, such as throat clearing or brief sounds.
