A member asked:
Is it possible to develop tourette's syndrome after seeing someone with tourette's syndrome?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not the real disease. I suppose some people can have the sort of personality that is drawn into mimicking such a pattern disorder. It is not a contagious disease but a condition of the nervous system.

Tourette's is neither infectious nor contagious, and the only way you will acquire symptoms is via psychological mimicry. If this occurs, see a counselor and get de-conditioned.
