Yes, it is possible to have tics without having Tourette’s syndrome. Tics are sudden, repetitive muscle movements or vocalisations, and they can occur in various conditions, such as transient tic disorder, chronic motor tic disorder, or chronic vocal tic disorder. These tic disorders involve the presence of either motor or vocal tics, but they do not meet all the diagnostic criteria for Tourette’s syndrome. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of tics.
