The most likely diagnosis for the patient’s condition is Tourette disorder. This condition is often treated with a neuroleptic drug, such as risperidone. Tourette disorder is a neurological disorder resulting in chronic tics, both vocal and motor. The tics are often classified as either simple or complex – simple being small, involuntary movements like repetitive eye blinking or grunting, while complex tics involve multiple muscle groups, like grimacing while shrugging. Incorrect Answers Answer 1: Valproic is often used in the treatment of bipolar disorder. Answer 3: Lamotrigine is often used for epilepsy, seizures and in the treatment of bipolar disorder. It is not used in the treatment of Tourette disorder. Answer 4: Clonazepam may be used for some seizure disorders and panic disorder. It does not play a role in the treatment of Tourette disorder. Answer 5: Lithium is used in bipolar disorder as a mood stabilizer – it is not used in Tourette disorder.
