Vocal tics occur in the form of loud grunting or "barking" noises or, in some cases, words or phrases. In most cases, the tics come and go, and they often are replaced by different types of sounds or movements, which may become more complex as the patient grows older.
TS is three times more common in men than in women. The motor tics, which usually occur in bouts several times a day, may make it very hard for the patient to perform simple acts like tying shoelaces, not to mention work-related tasks or driving. In addition, TS may be very detrimental socially. Some patients have an irresistible urge to curse or use offensive racial terms (a condition called coprolalia), though this is not under voluntary control. Other people may not wish to be with TS patients and, even if they are accepted, TS patients live in fear of shocking others and embarrassing themselves. In time, they may close themselves off from former friends and even relatives.
Some people with TS have trouble paying attention. They often seem "grumpy" and may have periods of great sadness. TS patients may think the same thoughts over and over, a sort of "mental tic" known as an obsession. It is these features that place TS patients on the border between disease of the nervous system and mental illness. In fact, before research showed that there are abnormal chemical changes in the brain in TS, many doctors were convinced that TS was an abnormal mental state. It still is not clear whether these behaviors are a direct result of TS itself, or a reaction to the stress of having to live with the disease.
