TIC DISORDERS

Sudden, involuntary, fast, aimless and repetitive movements of a muscle group in the human body are called tics. Tics may be regional in nature, involving only one muscle group, or they may be widespread, involving many muscle groups. Tics in the muscles that help you make sounds are called vocal, and tics that occur in other muscles are called motor tics.

Positive responses obtained from medications support that tics arise from disorders in the metabolism of some chemicals in the structure of the nervous system. It is possible for the disease not to ossify and become chronic with early treatment. In treatment, family counseling and medication are used together.
