210名抽动秽语综合症（TS）患者和/或他们的父母完成了一项调查，回答了有关声音和运动抽搐、行为问题和睡眠障碍的频率和破坏性的问题。受访者还评估了TS症状对社会关系以及个人和社会功能水平的影响。据报道，运动抽搐比声音抽搐更有问题。破坏性的行为问题包括强迫性的仪式、多动、焦虑、发脾气、情绪波动、攻击性和辅助症状。受访者还报告了入睡困难、恶梦、梦游症和遗尿症。超过40%的受访者表示在约会、交友和保持友谊方面存在问题。据报道，家庭成员、朋友和医生最能理解和容忍TS症状；雇主被评为最不理解的。超过30%的受访者表示在应对方面存在一些问题，但超过50%的受访者也认为自己的心理健康状况良好或非常好。
Two hundred and ten patients with Tourette Syndrome (TS) and/or their parents completed a survey, answering questions about the frequency and disruptiveness of vocal and motor tics, behaviour problems and sleep disturbances. Respondents also rated the impact of TS symptoms on social relationships and level of personal and social functioning. Motor tics were reported to be more problematic than were vocal tics. Disruptive behavioural problems included obsessive-compulsive rituals, hyperactivity, anxiety, temper tantrums, mood swings, aggressiveness and coprolalia. Respondents also reported problems getting to sleep, bad dreams, somnambulism and enuresis. More than 40% of respondents reported problems in dating, and problems in making and keeping friends. Family members, friends and physicians were reported to be the most understanding and tolerant of TS symptoms; employers were rated as being the least understanding. More than 30% of respondents reported some problems in coping, but more than 50% of respondents also rated their mental health as good or excellent.
