This section lists books on Tourettes:
- Tourette Syndrome and Tic Disorders by Babara Moe
This informative book discusses Tourette syndrome, tic disorders, and related problems affecting activities, moods, learning, behavior, and sleep. Moe combines solid information, brief case studies, and sound advice as she explores the many facets of these related disorders, the ways in which they affect young people's lives, resources available to those looking for medical or legal help, and strategies for coping in daily life. Her straightforward approach and matter-of-fact, supportive tone make the information readily accessible to young readers, even those who come to the topic with some degree of discomfort. Although primarily speaking to young people with Tourette syndrome and tic disorders, the book also addresses their families and friends. A helpful guide to a subject rarely discussed in books for young people, though it certainly touches many lives

- Straight Talk about Psychiatric Medications for Kids by Wilens, revised edition
Harvard researcher and practitioner Wilens presents a straightforward view of the medication options available to children with emotional, developmental and behavioral disorders. Parents coping with the weighty decisions surrounding the issue of pharmacotherapy for children will find this an informative guidebook. Wilens answers common questions parents ask when a practitioner prescribes a medication for their child and gives practical information on how to weigh the risks and benefits, including keeping a medication log to track a particular medication's efficacy. A helpful section of the book describes each disorder (schizophrenia, conduct disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc.) and outlines the possible treatment plans, including information on specific drugs and their side effects. While some of the treatment plans may sound frightening (one child sampled nine different medications before reaching an effective treatment for anxiety and ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), Wilens's intent is clearly to educate parents concerning the complicated nature and treatment of many of these disorders. The author's straight talk about medications will help parents become "informed collaborators" in their child's psychiatric care.
