Treatment
Treatment of chronic motor or vocal tic disorder depends on its severity, the distress it causes to the patient, and the effects the tics have on school or job performance. Medication and psychotherapy are used only when there is substantial interference with ordinary activities.
Drugs used to treat tics (dopamine blockers, such as pimozide and risperidone) have a limited rate of success and a relatively high level of side effects.
