Coprolalia is the: Medical term for your daughter's vocal tic. It's found in ~10% of folks with tourette syndrome; however, the diagnosis requires multiple motor tics & at least 1 vocal tic for a year or > with no tic-free periods > 2 mos. Adhd & ocd often co-occur. Her pediatrician may consult a child neurologist or psychiatrist or a developmental/behavioral pediatrician; she needs help asap. See tsa.Org.
