Tourette Syndrome (TS) is an illness about which there is inadequate awareness among healthcare professionals, as well as the general public, insufficient research, and meager funds for treatment. The Tic Disorders Clinic and Research Unit at the Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School was founded in 1998 by Sabine Wilhelm, Ph.D. and is one of only a few clinics in the United States specializing in the treatment and research of TS and related tic disorder. The mission of the Tic Disorders Clinic is to educate healthcare professionals and the general public, advance research, and conduct state-of-the-art treatment and research aimed at improving the standard of care for people suffering from TS and related tic disorders. Despite extraordinary efforts, funding for education, treatment, and research remain insufficient. The Tic Disorders program relies on your contributions to fund its groundbreaking work on treatment outcome. When you donate money, time, or talent to our program, you can make a major impact on our ability to conduct research aimed at improving treatments for people suffering from TS and related tic disorder.
