THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF CHILDREN WITH TOURETTE DISORDER
A global understanding of the variables influencing the quality of life of children with Tourette's syndrome (TS) is proposed in this study, which is the first to report on the quality of life of children of Quebec with TS between the ages of 8 and 12. The results highlight the role of self-esteem as well as certain symptomatic variables related to TS, such as the severity of tics and symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, in achieving optimal quality of life.
