Annual Meeting October 16th


The Arizona Chapter of the Tourette Syndrome Association was established to serve the community touched by Tourette Syndrome. The TSA is organized for the following purposes:

  1. To promote among professional and interested general public, a greater awareness and understanding of, and education about TS to facilitate early and accurate diagnosis of TS and sympathetic treatment of those with this condition.
  2. To provide services and service information to people with Tourette Syndrome, families and others concerned about TS.
  3. To foster medical research into the cause, improved treatment and cure for TS.
About Tourette Syndrome
 

Tourette Syndrome is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by repeated involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. There are significant associated conditions which compound the impact on patient's lives. Approximately 50-70% have Attention Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In addition, learning disabilities, obsessive compulsive behaviors, impulse control difficulties, sleep disorders, and mood disorders often accompany TS. It is not uncommon for an affected individual to have several, if not all, of these to some degree over the course of a lifetime. Clinical experience suggests that these associated conditions are more troublesome than the tics for the person with TS.
