The best first step is usually to talk to a healthcare provider who is familiar with tics and get a thorough assessment. Many experts believe these sudden onset tic-like behaviors can happen for different reasons, and tic-like behaviors may need different treatment compared to tic disorders including Tourette syndrome. Sometimes these tics can happen in groups of children. These types of tic-like behaviors are more common among teenagers and more often seen in girls than boys. The people who develop these tic-like behaviors are often experiencing movement symptoms for the first time, with no reported history of tics. Sometimes people have tic-like behaviors that look like tics, but that are distinctly different from those typically seen in Tourette syndrome and other tic disorders.

People with provisional tic disorders can have motor or vocal tics, or both, but have had their symptoms less than 1 year. People with persistent motor or vocal tic disorders have either motor or vocal tics and have had tic symptoms for at least 1 year. People with Tourette syndrome have both motor and vocal tics and have had tic symptoms for at least 1 year. The tic disorders differ from each other in terms of the type of tic present (motor or vocal, or a combination of both), and how long the symptoms have lasted. Persistent (sometimes called chronic) motor or vocal tic disorder.Tourette syndrome (TS, sometimes called Tourette disorder).Three tic disorders are included in the DSM-5:

People who have tics cannot stop their body from doing these things. Tics are sudden twitches, movements, or sounds that people do repeatedly.
