Tics/Tourette Syndrome

2017-08-18 17:48:59
As a medical practitioner I only considered my husband is asthmatic as he continously clear out his throat. I also notice he frequently blinks, move heads and shoulders. He is not very honest about his medical condition so recently I just found out that he had this mannerism back when he was a child left untreated is there anything I can do about

Risperidone, Haloperidole,Tetrabenazine are effective in treatment of tic disorder. But side effects of these drugs are main concern. In nonpharmacological treatment habit reversal training is effective. For proper treatment consult to a psychiatrist.
