In order for patient to be diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, they need to have both multiple motor tics (blinking, shoulder shrugging, sniffing, facial grimacing) and at least 1 vocal tic (grunting, snorting, throat clearing, yelling, obscenities) for at least 1 year

cinnapie How would you differentiate it from a chronic motor tic? Just by the lac of a vocal tic? +

drmohandes Chronic motor tic = motor tic -or- vocal tic. Tourette = motor tic -and- vocal tic. +

drmohandes *Edit: motor tic = only motor // Tourette = motor + vocal +6
