Tourette's Syndrome Clinic

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a life-long inherited neuropsychiatric disorder that causes involuntary movements and sounds in patients. Appearing during childhood, TS affects three per cent of the general population and it is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders (300,000 affected individuals in Ontario).

Established in 1980, the Tourette Syndrome Clinic at Toronto Western Hospital is the oldest and largest such clinic in Canada. The clinic provides ongoing care for the local population and acts as a tertiary (specialized) referral centre.

Our services:

• Assessment
• Consultation
• Pharmacotherapy follow-up
• Family counselling and cognitive therapy for children and adults
