What is adult-onset primary tic disorder?
Adult-onset primary tics tend to wax and wane, occur predominantly in males, are often both motor and phonic in the same individual, and are characterized by a poor response to treatment. Discussion We know little about adult-onset tic disorders, particularly ones without a secondary association or cause.

Tics are brief, intermittent, sudden movements or sounds that occur in a stereotyped fashion. Diagnostic classification systems require the onset of tics prior

patients with TS suffer from one other psychiatric disorder, the most common being ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), followed by OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder),and almost 30% of patients with OCD suffer from tics; this suggests a role for shared genes in these conditions.

Tics. There are two types of tics -- motor tics and vocal tics. These short-lasting sudden movements (motor tics) or uttered sounds (vocal tics) occur suddenly during what is otherwise normal behavior. Tics are often repetitive, with numerous successive occurrences of the same action. For instance, someone with a tic might blink their eyes multiple times or twitch their nose repeatedly.

Motor tics can be classified as either simple or complex. Simple motor tics may include movements such as eye-blinking, nose-twitching, head-jerking, or shoulder-shrugging. Complex motor tics consist of a series of movements performed in the same order. For instance a person might reach out and touch something repeatedly or kick out with one leg and then the other and also hair pulling/neck movement
