Is obscene language (coprolalia) a typical symptom of TS?

Tourette Syndrome FAQ
Definitely not. The fact is that cursing, uttering obscenities, and ethnic slurs are manifested by fewer than 15% of people with TS. Too often, however, the media seize upon this symptom for its sensational effect. Because milder cases are being diagnosed, the incidence of coprolalia will probably decrease.

What is coprolalia?

Questions about tourette syndrome, Attention Deficit Hyperac...
Coprolalia is the involuntary, repeated expression of swear words. This is distinct from simple swearing in that the same words tend to be said over and over in a compulsive, repetitious fashion, not spoken in anger. The most common word is "fuck", but virtually any swear work can be heard. Coprolalia is not necessary for the diagnosis of TS. Less than 30% of TS patients have this symptom.

How is TS diagnosed?

Tourette Syndrome FAQ
A diagnosis is made by observing symptoms and by evaluating the history of their onset. No blood analysis or other type of neurological testing exists to diagnose TS. However, some physicians may wish to order an EEG, MRI, CAT scan, or certain blood tests to rule out other ailments that might be confused with TS. Rating scales are available for assessment of tic severity.

How is TS treated?

Tourette Syndrome FAQ
The majority of people with TS are not significantly disabled by their tics or behavioral symptoms, and therefore do not require medication. However, there are medications available to help control the symptoms when they interfere with functioning. The drugs include haloperidol (Haldol), clonidine (Catapres), pimozide (Orap), risperidone (Risperdal), fluphenazine (Prolixin, Permitil), and clonazepam (Klonopin).

Is TS inherited?

Tourette Syndrome FAQ
Genetic studies indicate that TS is inherited as a dominant gene (or genes) causing different symptoms in different family members. A person with TS has about a 50% chance of passing the gene to one of his/her children with each separate pregnancy. However, that genetic predisposition may express itself as TS, as a milder tic disorder or as obsessive compulsive symptoms with no tics at all.

How many people in the U.S. have TS?

Tourette Syndrome FAQ
Since many people with TS have yet to be diagnosed, there are no absolute figures. The official estimate by the National Institutes of Health is that 100,000 Americans have full-blown TS. Some genetic studies suggest that the figure may be as high as one in two hundred if those with chronic multiple tics and/or transient childhood tics are included in the count.
