Which condition is characterized by multiple motor and vocal tics?

  1. Autism Spectrum Disorder

  2. Hyperactivity Disorder

  3. Tourette's Syndrome

  4. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

The correct answer is: Tourette's Syndrome

The condition characterized by multiple motor and vocal tics is Tourette's Syndrome. This neurological disorder manifests in the form of repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations known as tics. Motor tics can involve movements like blinking or head jerking, while vocal tics might include sounds such as throat clearing or grunting. Tourette's Syndrome typically appears in childhood and is more prevalent in males than females. It is important to recognize this condition, as it can impact an individual's psychosocial functioning and quality of life. Effective interventions often involve behavioral therapy and medication to help manage symptoms.
