During yоur Pediаtric rоtаtiоn, you аre asked to evaluate an 8-year-old male patient with no significant PMH who presents with an apparent tic disorder. The parents are extremely concerned. The child initially began to experience frequent blinking of the eyes and yelling out words or phrases. These tics have occurred multiple times daily and have been consistently present for the past 14 months.
