Many diseases have a cure, yet there are many more that do not. These include neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and disorders such as autism or Tourette syndrome. What is surprising is that the frequency of Tourette syndrome, or more generally tic disorders, has increased dramatically throughout the pandemic, especially for young teenage girls.
What Are Tic Disorders?
Being diagnosed with a tic disorder means that one involuntarily performs muscle movements or generates unwanted vocals. Transient tic disorder is the mildest version of this disease, where there are motor and vocal tics that occur many times daily, with the condition continuing for no longer than a year. Chronic tic disorder is when it lasts longer than a year.
