TICS

Abstract

After presenting the main characteristics of tics, the authors are evaluating the etiopatogeny, considering their psychogenic or somatogenic nature. Tics may not be considered exclusively nevrotic and for each case we must establish how much of the clinical signs can be determined by the psychogenic factors. Finaly the authors are discussing about preventing and treatment of tics.
