A member asked:

Can tourettes syndrome get better after age 17?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Many of those who suffer tourette will have a significant reduction in tic frequency, severity or both when they have completely passed through puberty. At 17, you may still have a chance to see improvement.
