The topic of diagnostic accuracy in determining tic diagnosis was explored by the group from South Korea \cite{Sung2023}. In particular, the authors investigated whether the clinicians committed two types of errors in diagnosis of tic disorder: the diagnosis of transient tic disorder made after the diagnosis of any type of chronic tic disorder or the diagnosis of transient tic disorder made again although the symptoms persistent for more than 1 year. Most clinicians (96.5%) did not commit any of these errors. 
\cite{Martindale2023} together with other members of the International Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Society Tic and Tourette Syndrome Study Group formed a subcommittee to discuss further barriers to practice guideline implementation among clinicians treating patients with tics. The following barriers were listed: accessibility to specialized care, financial costs or coverage of treatment, neuropsychiatric comorbidities, treatment side effects, stigma of the disease. 
Marino et al. (2023) \cite{Marino2023} explored patients' experience of accessing support from primary care physicians in the UK. Altogether, more negative than positive experiences were reported. Main areas of frustration included lack of exploration of tics or no psychoeducation. Around 20% of participants had problems to get a referral to a specialist. When it comes to specialized care, adults were mainly seen by neurologists, while children mainly were treated by psychiatrists or pediatricians. Only 28% of patients were seen by physicians specialized in tic disorders. The average waiting time for children was 3-6 months but it was much longer for adults. One fifths of people was discharged from the clinic without further support, while 30% reported support by private healthcare.
 "‘No ill will’: Ticcing on Moral Grounds" \citep*{Curtis_Wendlandt_2023}. "This chapter argues that tics are less blameworthy than other intentional actions, but that we often misconstrue them as morally salient behaviours."
\cite{Bervoets2023} et al published an interesting viewpoint following the similar lines of thought and inviting more inclusive patient based perspective. 
Coleman and Melia ( 2023) investigated self-identity in females with TS using a focused semi-structured interview conducted via zoom.   Five themes were established: "I'm not normal", "I just want to be me", I'm a "people pleaser", seeing oneself as an "outsider", and "it's just part of me…it's not going anywhere". The importance of work on self-esteem in the population of these patients was underlined.   \cite{Coleman2023}
An interesting topic of moral decision making in patients with TS was explored by Vicario et al. (2023). All in all, the authors found higher inclination for utilitarian solutions of moral dilemmas in patients with TS. Of note, TS individuals had more tendency to quantify something as morally wrong or right.  The authors concluded that there might be neurobiological correlates of inappropriate behaviors in people with TS that could be an underlying cause of the higher utilitarian moral decision-making.  \cite{Vicario2023}.
