Patient's question:
Doctor, I want to ask, what is Tourette syndrome? My roommate told me he has Tourette syndrome, but I don't really understand this disease. So I think I should ask the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Tics are a hereditary disease, usually associated with chromosomal abnormalities, and are a mental disorder. This condition typically develops in childhood and is more common in children. If your roommate is already an adult, consider whether it might be wishful thinking or misdiagnosis. If a thorough examination confirms it is tics, you can decide to use benzamides as antipsychotic medications.
