Mindfulness-based interventions have demonstrated efficacy for a wide range of clinical concerns and populations. Mindfulness-based Intervention for Tics (MBIT) is a recently developed brief, online group intervention for adults with…
Tourette syndrome (TS) is associated with dysregulated cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical neural circuitry, of which the primary implicated neurotransmitters include dopamine, glutamate, and gamma-aminobutyric acid. Pharmacologic intervention for tics should be considered when…
This article provides an overview of evidence-based behavior therapy for Tourette syndrome (TS) in children, adolescents, and adults. First, this article describes evidence-based behavioral therapies for TS, examines their efficacy…
Tourette syndrome and persistent tic disorders (collectively, TS) are impairing childhood-onset neuropsychiatric conditions. Utilizing evidence-based assessments (EBA) is standard for effective and accurate screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of TS. EBAs…
Individuals living with Tourette syndrome (TS) may benefit from cognitive assessment, as it may elucidate specific difficulties for which someone could receive accommodation and highlight relative strengths to build upon….
The underlying pathophysiology of tics in Tourette syndrome is a topic of major scientific interest. To date, there is an absence of consensus among researchers regarding the precise anatomic location…
Tourette syndrome is defined by motor and vocal tics, yet our understanding of the pathophysiology of tics remains limited. Functional MRI (fMRI) can localize brain function related to the clinical…
This review explores the genetic basis of Tourette syndrome (TS), a complex neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics. Family, twin, and molecular genetic studies provide strong evidence for…
Substantial evidence supports the role of genetic factors in suicide behaviors (SBs). The most recent and powered genome-wide association studies identified significant loci for suicide, suicide attempts, and suicide ideation….
