Tourette's Syndrome/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Specialty Clinic and Research Group

The TS/OCD Specialty Clinic at the Yale Child Study Center is a leading clinical center for the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of Tourette's Syndrome (TS), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling). The clinic provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment recommendations with the support of a broad range of clinicians including psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses and social workers. Several large-scale federally funded research projects are also underway in an effort to unravel the mysteries of these disorders and to improve existing treatment modalities.
