Sammanfattning
Tourette syndrome is a hereditary tic disorder. The symptoms consist of compulsory movements and vocalizations. Stress has an aggravating effect on tics. Unfortunately
tics are easily mistaken for oppositional and defiant behavior. Tourette syndrome is most frequently seen with psychiatric comorbidity. Tics are best treated with low arousal
techniques, which may be supplemented with pharmacotherapy.
