Tics and Their Treatment

"Tics and Their Treatment" by Henry Meige is an early 20th-century scientific exploration that focuses on elevating the understanding of tics from mere quirks to significant medical conditions warranting serious attention. Using the detailed case of a patient named O., the book presents a thorough look at the origin, manifestation, and familial connections of tics. O.'s narrative offers important insights into the link between psychological states, habitual behaviors, and involuntary actions. This sets the tone for the book's in-depth examination into the psychological and medical aspects of this often-misunderstood health condition.
