A member asked:
Can adults develop tourettes? need expert opinions!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If you did not have Tourette's as a child, it is highly unlikely that you have it now. If you suddenly at the age of 46 are having tics (motor and/or vocal) this could be a sign of a neurological problem, so I would recommend you see a neurologist ASAP.
