Abstract
The aim was to review the historical, and clinical aspects, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of Tourette Syndrome (TS) in the literature. The study is a bibliographic review, written in an integrative and systematic manner. (TS) was described from the observation of people who had tics and obscene behavior, in which the sufferer was unable to control them. The “International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems” allocates TS to the group of disorders with emotional disturbances. TS is a chronic neuropsychiatric condition characterized by stereotyped actions, multiple motor tics, and/or vocal tics, which generally appear during early adolescence without specific etiology. The treatment of TS is carried out through a pharmacological and non-pharmacological combination and, in some cases where the treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment. The results demonstrated that pharmacological treatment is effective, but for more satisfactory results it is necessary to associate it with non-pharmacological treatment.
