existence of muscle/vocal tics for at least 1 year; tics that occur many times each day; that began prior to age 18; careful neurologic exam; blood tests to rule out wilson's disease (due to excess copper); and psychiatric exam to rule out schizophrenia. it occurs more in boys (generallly beginning around the age of 7 or 8).
