Dr. Ananya O. Chitale

Abstract: Tic disorders have emerged as complex, heterogenous, neuropsychiatric movement disorders of childhood onset that are manifestations of an intricate interplay of genes and environment. Tics represent very fine disturbances in the susceptibility and sensitivity of an individual suffering from it. Hence fundamentally it becomes necessary that this altered susceptibility needs to be brought back into health. For restoring this susceptibility constitutional remedy given in Homoeopathy can serve to be efficacious. The constitutional approach was used in a young female suffering from tics disorder and it helped patient a lot to improve her quality of life and function in a better manner with her disease as well as in a continued unfavourable environment.
