Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (or “Tourette syndrome” for short) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics and often accompanied by attention deficits, hyperactivity, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The first symptoms usually appear in early childhood. Various factors are relevant when determining whether medication should be considered, including the quality of life of those affected and any comorbid conditions. Habit reversal therapy is often used as a behavioral therapy approach.
