DSM-5
Diagnostic Criteria and Classification of Tourette’s Disorder

Quote:
The TSA strongly recommends that Tourette’s disorder/tic disorders not be included in a section that is entitled “Anxiety and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders”. We believe that grouping tic disorders under the rubric of anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorders is not accurate. Essentially, tic disorders are movement disorders, and thus are best represented as neurological conditions. Tic disorders are not anxiety disorders and they are sufficiently distinct from obsessive compulsive disorder to warrant not being subsumed under this category. In addition, for many years, the TSA and the broader Tourette’s disorder community, along with countless medical professionals, have worked to dispel the misleading notion that Tourette’s disorder is, at its root, a psychiatric condition. We are concerned that grouping Tourette’s disorder with “Anxiety and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders” in DSM-5 will represent the condition solely as a psychiatric illness. This categorization would prove very confusing, would lead to renewed stigma and potential discrimination, as well as serve to reverse many years of successful advocacy on behalf of children and adults with Tourette’s disorder. Therefore, the TSA supports the retention of Tourette’s disorder in the category of “Disorders Usually First Diagnosed In infancy, Childhood or Adolescence” in the DSM-5. If this is not possible, then we suggest that tic disorders be placed under a different or newly created category that is more suitable for these neurological disorders
