Tic disorders may be classified as simple tics, chronic motor tics or Tourette syndrome, the most severe of the three types. Tourette syndrome is rather uncommon and is often misdiagnosed. Tic disorders of childhood probably have an organic etiology and a genetic component. An increased incidence of obsessive-compulsive behavior, attention deficit disorder and other abnormalities have been reported in Tourette patients. Haloperidol is often useful in controlling severe tic symptoms, while stimulant drugs may worsen the symptoms.
抽动障碍可分为简单性抽动、慢性运动性抽动或抽动秽语综合征，其中抽动秽语综合征是这三种类型中最严重的。抽动秽语综合征相当罕见，且常被误诊。儿童抽动障碍可能有器质性病因和遗传因素。据报道，抽动秽语综合征患者中强迫行为、注意力缺陷障碍及其他异常情况的发生率有所增加。氟哌啶醇通常有助于控制严重的抽动症状，而刺激性药物可能会使症状加重。
