Abstract
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a complex disorder that influences health and functioning. We analyzed data on 78 children with TS to document the presence of co-occurring mental and developmental disorders and describe TS severity and impairment. Consideration of complexities associated with TS may better support those diagnosed and their families.
