In spite of these torturous symptoms, most people with TS are incredibly strong individuals who do well in life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2012 release also includes the complete revised text of the author's well-received 1996 book The Unwelcome Companion, An Insider's View of Tourette Syndrome.

Written by a leading expert in the coexistence of obsessive-compulsive and schizophrenic phenomena, Schizo-Obsessive Disorder uses numerous case studies to present diagnostic guidelines and to describe a recommended treatment algorithm, demystifying this complex disorder and aiding its effective management.
