The clinical classification, hereditary factors, mechanisms of onset, differential diagnosis and the comorbidity of Tourette disorder are described in this paper. In addition, the initial explanation and treatment including drugs for children with this disorder at paediatric outpatient clinics are included. We think that psychological support is very important for mothers of children with anxiety probably caused by hereditary problems. Some of our answers are also introduced to the questions which are often asked by mothers as they take care of the children in ordinary life.
