Full Description

Tic Disorders and Tourette Syndrome is an essential resource that delves into the clinical aspects, treatments, and ongoing research related to tic disorders and Tourette syndrome. It covers a range of topics from primary to secondary and functional tics, providing differential diagnosis. The book is designed to offer foundational knowledge to neurologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychiatrists, and psychologists, while also catering to the needs of advanced readers. In addition to clinical presentations, the book discusses the epidemiology, etiology, and pathophysiology of tics, along with common neuropsychiatric comorbidities such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, mood disorders, and intermittent explosive disorder. The volume also includes treatment options and clinical scales to evaluate tics, illustrated with video accompaniments and animal models.
