Abstract

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a hereditary, chronic, neurobiological disease, characterized by the presence of motor and vocal tics. The disease is often accompanied by other symptoms: Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), sleeping disorders, learning disabilities, speech disfluencies, outbursts of extreme anger and behavioural problems. Treatment must be multidisciplinary. The most disabling symptom should be treated medically and the drug of first choice depends on the pathophysiology of this symptom.
