Disorders Associated With TS

Many of the individuals that are experiencing TS often have behavioural

problems that cause more impairment than the tics themselves. These include inattention,
hyperactivity and impulsivity, ADHD, which leads to problems reading, writing, and
arithmetic, as well as obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms. To give you a visual,
worries about dirt and germs can lead to repetitive hand-washing, and concerns about bad
things happening may be associated with ritualistic behaviours such as counting,
repeating, or ordering and arranging. People who have been diagnosed with TS have been
reported having problems with depression or anxiety disorders, as other difficulties with
living.
