Tourette's Syndrome is the rare inherited disease, which is featured by extreme motor tics, grunts, barking cries, and outbursts of obscene language, all of which are continous and are far from control of the patient.

At least three antipsychotic drugs are recommended in the condition, these are fluphenazine, pimozide, and haloperidol, all these can assist in minimizing severe symptoms. For mild or slight symptoms, clonidine is the drug to be recommended.
