Providing an overview of the assessment, diagnosis, and
pharmacological treatment of tics, this is a practical handbook
designed for use in busy clinics by trainees and practitioners in a
range of disciplines. The most widely used pharmacological treatment
options for tics are covered, including first- and second-generation
antidopaminergic medications, alpha-2 adrenergic medications, and
other tic-suppressing medications. Particular care has been taken in
covering the key medications used for tic control, detailing
information such as the main pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic
properties, tolerability profiles, clinically relevant interactions,
and recommendations for use in special populations. International
guidelines on the pharmacotherapy of tics are defined, with further
reading lists of up-to-date literature supporting the reader in
developing their knowledge. Delivering evidence-based applied guidance
for the assessment and pharmacological treatment of tics, this is an
essential manual for clinicians.
