Abstract

Tourette’s disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder with combined motor and vocal tics. The etiology of the disease is not clear, but
results suggest the role of genetic factors. The paper describes a case of a holistic approach in the treatment of a ten-year-old boy
with Tourette’s disorder. The pharmacotherapy applied was focused on comorbid conditions, and not on the tics. Remission followed
after one year of treatment.
