Doctors For Tourette Syndrome In Swat

Tourette syndrome meaning in Urdu is "ٹورٹ سنڈروم، یعنی غیر ارادی اعصابی حرکات کا مرض". It is a neurological condition that causes a person to make sudden, repeated movements or sounds called tics. The person cannot control these tics. Tics may be mild and barely noticeable, or severe enough to affect daily life.

Tourette syndrome usually begins in childhood, between the ages of 5 and 10. It affects boys more than girls. Many children see their symptoms improve as they grow older, and some lose their tics completely in adulthood. However, in some cases tics continue into adulthood and need long-term care.
