Tourette syndrome is linked to differences in the way the brain processes dopamine — a chemical that helps with movement, reward, and attention.

In people with TS, dopamine may be overactive or misregulated, particularly in the basal ganglia, the part of the brain that helps control movement. This is one reason why tics happen even when a person doesn’t want them to.

Some medications for TS work by adjusting dopamine levels — but not everyone needs or wants medication. Understanding how dopamine plays a role helps explain why tics happen in the first place, and why they aren’t a behaviour you can just switch off.

Before a tic happens, many people feel a strange sensation—an itch that needs scratching, a tension that needs releasing, or a pressure that won’t go away until the tic occurs. This is called the premonitory urge.

Not everyone with Tourette’s experiences it, but for those who do, it often feels like a buildup of discomfort. While tics are involuntary, some therapies—like CBIT (Comprehensive Behavioural Intervention for Tics)—teach people to recognise these urges and use alternative responses to reduce tic severity.

Understanding premonitory urges is important because it helps explain why suppressing tics doesn’t work long-term. While some people can hold in a tic for a short time, the urge usually gets stronger until the tic eventually happens. Instead of suppression, the focus is on management techniques that help reduce the impact of tics over time.
