P 46 Tourette syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders
Tourette syndrome (TS) and related tic disorders are commonly associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It has been argued, however, that any observed association between TS and these and other psychopathologies may be due to ascertainment bias in that individuals with multiple problems are more likely to be referred for medical evaluation. A tic is a sudden, uncontrollable movement which can occur anywhere in the body or be vocal. Tics are often very mild and may not be noticeable to others but tics can also be grandiose.
