2-Minute Neuroscience: Tourette Syndrome

- In this video, I discuss what is hypothesized to occur in the brain to cause Tourette syndrome, a disorder characterized by recurrent involuntary movements or sounds called tics.
For an article (on my website) that discusses Tourette syndrome more in-depth, click this link: neuroscientificallychallenged...
TRANSCRIPT:
Tourette syndrome is characterized by recurrent involuntary movements or sounds called tics. Tics can be classified as simple or complex. Simple tics usually involve only one group of muscles, and might consist of actions like eye blinking or throat clearing. Complex tics are more elaborate, and might involve actions like reaching out to touch something or the involuntary use of obscene language, which is known as coprolalia. It’s worth noting that coprolalia, while often associated with Tourette syndrome, is actually thought to occur in less than 20% of cases.
The neuroscience of Tourette syndrome is still poorly understood, but a number of studies suggest an important role for a group of structures known as the basal ganglia, which includes the: caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, substantia nigra, and subthalamic nucleus. The basal ganglia are involved in diverse brain functions, but they are especially relevant to Tourette syndrome for their hypothesized role in suppressing unwanted actions.
According to this perspective, one function of basal ganglia circuitry is to inhibit neurons in the thalamus and prevent them from sending undesired movement-related signals to the motor cortex. In Tourette syndrome, it’s thought that faulty inhibitory mechanisms in the basal ganglia may fail to stop unwanted signals from reaching the cortex. This causes the execution of an action that the patient might prefer to suppress, forming the basis for tics. The failed inhibition in the basal ganglia is thought to be coupled with increased activity in motor pathways that generate movements. Thus, patients with Tourette’s might experience a problematic combination of high motor activity that generates habitual patterns of behavior, along with abnormally low inhibitory activity that would normally keep those behaviors from being acted out. More research needs to be done, however, to fully elucidate the neural circuitry underlying the disorder.

This channel was literally mentioned in my college textbook. The website was linked. That's pretty awesome.
Wait was the link printed into the text book?
Joelle where are you practising?
I assume you found that out in science class
What if the channel creator is an author/contributor of that book? He wrote a book himself, after all...
My point: book authors and CZcams channel authors are both normal people and can even intersect.
@@stefan_popp Right! I think it's cool that CZcams videos are referenced in college this kind of learning is picking up
As someone who has been developing simple tics it already has become something I’m so self conscious about, I get constant headaches from them, sometime I can suppress them sometimes I can’t. I hope we can learn more about the syndrome but videos just like this help even in the slightest bit
I'm coming up to my 6 year anniversary, haha.
I've had it for a while and I can't really suppress them no matter how hard I try.
What I can do, though, is 'translate' them into something less obvious and intrusive.
I appreciate videos like this, as well for their educative role on the subject.
Don't quote me on this, but apparently trying to fight tics really hard can pass you out or such.
watch the science of grounding
@@lecommentar9851 I've had palpitations or internal tension (liver pain), nothing more. Moving around, exercise and constant activity seem to divert the impulses.
The tic can emerge at any age, but it most commonly appears between the ages of 6 and 18 years. During adolescence and early adulthood, the tics will normally become less severe, but In 10 to 15 percent of cases, Tourette's can become worse as the person moves into adulthood.👍
Mine started around when I was 12 I’m 13 now I wouldn’t say mine are complex or simple it’s in the middle
This is very true!!! That's what's happened to me. It got increasingly worse and more complex as I reached my latter teen years. I'm 24 now. They're still raging quite a bit. Doesn't show much sign in slowing down
I was very lucky after highschool they started to taper off and in my late 20s now they are almost non existent and only really come out during times of high stress or anxiety. I could barely walk in a straight line as a kid
Mine started back when I was 7. I’m 15 now and the tics can range from rolling my eyes, clearing my throat, and sniffling.
I’m the one who got worse.
Thank you. I have Tourette’s and science had little to information on the “why” up until the last decade or two. You learn to live with it, but it’s so so so so much more than some “tics.” Thanks.
I was born in 1968 and began having OCD-like symptoms around 7-8 years of age. Gradually, it morphed into mostly simply ticks that would give me headaches daily and alienated other children. I check the internet once very 5 years or so now to see what we know, looking for what help I might get. Sadly, the answer is always-- very little.
There is a surgery for TS called Deep brain stimulation.
See that
@@jatinsharma5024 yes i read about it but i rather have my tourettes than some fricking wires in my head and a generator…cbd oil keeps me cool
Noone studies tourette. Noone cares.
@@sassymenses it’s not that nobody cares it’s that it has to do with the brain. We still to this day have only scratched the surface around many neurological challenges problems in the human brain.
My dad is over 90 years old and has a tendency to spit, which is more frequent when he is nervous and for which no one in the family knows the cause. We all thought he was doing it on purpose, but he wasn't. He never wanted to talk about it. A couple of years ago, I watched a UK documentary on TV and realized for the first time that my dad has Tourent's syndrome. Although there is no mention of drooling in the literature as Tourent's disorder, I am sure it is. Fortunately, dad had a good life and this syndrome did not limit him in any way.
Every time one of these videos comes out, I shed a tear of joy :’)
They’re so helpful with my Intro to Neuro students!! Thank you :)
Hey, thank you a million times for this!
It would be a lot to ask if I requested videos on Neurodevelopmental disorders, but if possible, please do add them to your list. Forever grateful to your channel!
Love this. I started ticcing last January (2022), starting oh so simple, and now they can be very complex. I’ve always wondered why I tic and this makes much more sense. Thanks for this video!
You guys helped me a lot with my neurology assignment. Thank you very much!
If they had a will to body program, I would donate my body for the study of this disease. I have a very rare case, because my Tourette’s was caused by a birth defect in the womb. It does not run in my family and I’m the only one that has it. I’ve had multiple tests done by neurologist and this was their conclusion as to how I got it.
Hi, I really love your channel!
What about restless legs syndrome? It would be really nice to have a 2-minute video about that brain disorder as well. Cheers!
Hi, that's an interesting idea! I'll add it to my list of videos to do in the future!
It’s such a hard condition because to others it can look so extra or fake
It’s hard to believe it’s real
But so sad that it is and some cases are so extreme
I have tourettes syndrome and this actually helped me understand myself and my condition much better! :)
When did you start developing symptoms
@@livie2011 For me it happened as early as 5! But it all depends on the person!
thanks for this valuable information. You are doing a great job.
Excellent explanation, thanks.
Had it since I was 9, 23 now. It is a blessing and a curse.
In which way a blessing??
What did you do at age 9 that caused it you reckon?
شكرا لك على هذه الفيديوهات المفيدة
My favorite channel💪
Wow this is a great video that was well explained
Another symptom I think a lot of people with TS have is poor impulse control. Obviously this is displayed with the tics, but it happens with other things too. Eating, sexual desires, and intrusive thoughts (throwing something valuable, hurting yourself, etc.)
There was an episode of The Good Doctor where a patient cheated on her husband and started having tics. It was later discovered that she had a brain tumor that made her unable to suppress her impulses (hence the cheating and tics). I think the same part of the brain that had the tumor is defective in people with TS.
There was also a podcast - I believe it’s called This Past Weekend - where Marc Elliot was a guest and he shared his story with TS. He mentioned how he felt compelled to do these tics, and how he also indulged in every desire he had because his brain was not capable to suppressing them.
The more I think about it, the more I believe that TS is actually a disorder of impulse.
It's on the Impulsive-Compulsive spectrum, along with its genetically related common comorbidities - ADHD, OCD, and Autism. Along with other conditions.
I have TS and OCD and actually have good impulse control. I can't actually suppress the tics, though, any more than anyone can just will themselves not blink to for an hour. Attempts are...futile, exhausting, and painful from both the effort itself and the inevitable rebound effect. TS is made *worse* in the short term by attempts to suppress the tics.
But the fact that a part of my brain doesn't seem to suppress errant *motor signals* doesn't mean that I'm going to go out and engage in risky *behaviors,* you know? There's an intentionality, a conscious decision to something like cheating on a partner or eating the last slice of cake that just simply isn't present with the tics. As for the intrusive thoughts of OCD, the fact that my brain wants to regale me with imagery of putting my hand on a hot burner while I cook doesn't mean I'm going to actually *do* that, distressing though the imagery may be. I don't even exhibit copralalia - as most with TS don't. It may be worth noting that Marc Elliot does.
Frankly, the TS feels more *compulsive* than impulsive anyway. I'm not at all getting the thought "hey I kinda wanna flail my arm around that sounds like a lot of fun, damn the consequences" and then going "so I'll totally do that", as, in fact, I very much do *not* want to flail my arm around, on basically any level beyond the level on which you really need to blink after not doing so for a while. And I'm lucky if I manage to suppress it just long enough to get out of the way of furniture, doorways, or *people* before it happens. You know, if I even get the warning it's about to happen in the first place.
I'm sorry that turned into a little bit of a rant, it's just that one of the frustrating things about the TS is that when first meeting me, a fair number of people first assume that I'm a drug user - as a distressing number of people have sheepishly told me after they've known me a while. I cannot express to you enough how stressful this fact is when you're doing something like trying to find work. I basically have no option of non-disclosure of my disability, because it's super visible and already has a lot of nasty stereotypes associated with it even with that disclosure. I really don't want people who are already somewhat familiar with TS getting the idea that I *lack impulse control* generally when, in fact, I very much do not. The media-driven assumption that we all exhibit coprolalia is bad enough.
You're just being curious and inquisitive and trying to think deeper about it, though, and I get that. And there's a level on which I appreciate that, too. And given that it is, in fact, a disorder on the impulsivity-compulsivity spectrum, you were on the right track generally anyway. :)
Oh, but you might actually be interested in this paper!
Investigating Shared Genetic Basis Across Tourette Syndrome and Comorbid Neurodevelopmental Disorders Along the Impulsivity-Compulsivity Spectrum
By Yang, et al.
@@TiaKatt thanks for the input! I have TS as well and I agree with a lot of what you said. I’ll definitely check out that paper too
Yes bro i think you are saying right i m having tics i am not able to supress my impulses because of that i have porn addiction, ciggratte, alcohol because i have no control of compulsivness and i m not able to divert my mind in one thought to another but with the help of god i quit all addictions and suffering with tics like picking t-shirt guilt sailva control breathing number counting over and over.
I’m 99% sure my friend is faking Tourette’s, but I’m just here to do my research before false accusations emerge. Thank you so much sir
I suffer constant movements like blinking, arms, shoulder, neck, back movements sometimes its retracing my writings, seing everyone's face around me, blowing my hand, and etc. It's irritating as each actions last for months and i always suffer pains and aches with those actions while some are really annoying and embarrassing. What's more the more you stop doing it the stronger the urge to do it. It's hard to stop the urge but for some reason im confident and very good at stoping my urge to hurt someone i wonder if i ever hurt someone intentionally physically and i also has strong control not to speak mean and bad words, more like it's filtered out whenever i speak.
But that doesn't mean it isn't mean sometimes just because I don't speak bad language, after all I'm very frank with my words
Great.....keep going... keep it up ✨
Wonderful
Thanks
An important distinction to make is that we don't know if it's fully involuntary or semi voluntary (Patient doesn't want to do it but the runaway urge to do so is too great, much like scratching an itch) yet
Yes! I think when people hear involuntary they think of it as something solely related to the muscle but it’s a combination of the brain and the body, making the urge that is so strong you will feel physically and mentally exhausted after suppressing them. The urge is involuntary, the motion technically isn’t. Very glad to hear someone make the distinction
It's not always preceded by an urge. A lot of tics just happen with no warning.
i started ticing at around age 5/6. the doctors said it was just sensory because i experienced Premonitory urges which weren't as common.
After the sudden passing of a close friend by anxiety went sky high and my adhd meds stopped supressing my tics. i now experience: Echolalia, Premonitory urges, Copropraxia, Coprolalia, Echopraxia, Echophenomenon, Palilalia, Palipraxia and Sensory phenomena. im only 16 and i've had a Tourette syndrome diagnosis for about 10 months, it gets worse daily and im now having to work out to strengthen my muscles to put up with my violent motor tics.
i know a lot of neuro students watch these so if you want to ask someone with Tourette syndrome a question i'll happily answer when i can. if i cant answer ill ask any of my friends with tourettes to try and answer if needed
Update: I'm now 18 and driving (yes I can drive safely) and I now experience non epileptic episodes with 4 variations. It's not easy to deal with but it's a byproduct of tourettes so not much I can do. I'm still perfectly fine answering comments as I know when I started ticing tourettes wasn't my first thought due to stigma as the obscene tics didn't start til about 7 months in by which I was already getting monitored ready for diagnosis so if I can help stop the stigma and get 1 more person to seek aid and advice early enough to avoid the level of uncertainty me and my family experienced then it will be worth it
Are you taking drugs... me to tourette sindrom... how do you control tic and this problems
@@ravaalghifahrinaufal9706 I'm on adhd and luckily they help but the rest is just anxiety regulation
Ive heard that smoking weed removes/ supresses tics heavily, have you tried it? Does it work?
@@-DarkAvenger- not since my tics developed but I know someone who had to borrow my wheelchair due to a violent tic attack (it was a TS support group and I was in the sensory room with my friends) and all they said was to take him outside so he can smoke weed. I saw him 15 min later and (as I hadn't seen the tic attack) didn't realize he was the one who had to use my wheelchair. I never smoked weed but I've had edibles at parties so I have more control over my adhd when drunk but I'm going to look into it now medical weed is being further recognized as treatment for TS in the UK
@@ash-ton5592 I see. thank you for your answer.
Do you take meditations for your tics? do they help?
i have tourette syndrome. thank you for explaining more about it
Is this curable ?please reply thank you
Hi! I love your channel :) do you use any particular program to produce the aimations in your videos?
I draw the images, then use a program called Videoscribe to create the whiteboard animation.
My Tourette’s have always been musky annoying but recently I’ve got a really unhealthy tic that is affecting my health by my ears and voice I’m praying it passes in a couple weeks
I was diagnosed with a.d.d. as a second grader. They put me on adderall. After starting the medication I acquired facial tics and teeth clicking tics. I am 33 , no more stimulants , and I still have some small facial tics . And they only happen at certain times. Like when I’m at work. I do this thing with my lips where I curl them and pucker while scrunching my nose. I also clench my teeth. I don’t know if adderall permanently messed my head up or what?
Very well explained. What software are you using for the animations? Thank you
I draw the images myself and create the whiteboard animation using a program called Videoscribe.
@@Neuroscientificallychallenged Thank you for your reply.
Agora podemos entender quem é o Psiu e o Dilera Neurocientificamente!
I'm 13, I have tourettes and oddly enough I want to be a neurologist. The only disorders I guess you could say that I have are neurological, because I have tourettes, anxiety, and somewhat mild ocd. It's not that bad but I'm a bit of a control freak and have an anxiety attack if something doesn't go as planned
It’s nice to finally see a fellow 13 year old with the same problem as me. Hope you are doing well!
Go for it! I know you’ll help a lot of people :)
thank you
I was 12ish when I developed Tourette’s, I don’t know if it came sooner but I’ve been diagnosed with ocd sense I was 6 so I always thought that’s what it was. My school counselor saw me and how I was acting and called me to her office asking if I had Tourette’s, I told her I just had ocd. She told me her daughter has Tourette’s, and she thinks i had them. I ended up going to psychiatrist and neurologist and I was diagnosed with Tourette’s, I didn’t believe I had it because it was around when a lot of people were faking. I ended up being depressed and convincing myself it was fake, and i was faking it. I didn’t think I actually had it because it wasn’t to the extent I was seeing online. I’m 15 now and very much still have it, I’ve been diagnosed and medicated for this condition. It’s not like the ones on tiktok, my head jerks, I squeal, or grunt, blink, or shaking my hands. I’m made as a joke at my school, I scare people away. I wanted to be doctor but I doubt that’s something I’ll be able to do. It hurts my heart that people fake this and I question if I even have it. I don’t even know if this is common on my family because both my parents don’t know much about their parents. It’s hurts and I’m scared because I don’t know if I did this to myself or not.
> I wanted to be doctor but I doubt that’s something I’ll be able to do.
Hey, don't let your Tourette's trample on your dreams - It's absolutely possible to become a doctor with Tourette's. Regarding "faking it": I know the whole thing can seem unreal, but from your descriptions it does sound a whole lot like Tourette's. And please don't blame yourself for your condition - you couldn't "give yourself Tourette's" even if you wanted to.
Best,
a fellow ticcing person.
I don’t know if anybody is experiencing anything similar to mine but here what i’ve been dealing with for years now.. I get headaches and feel nausea from it . Repeated right Arm/shoulder movements sometimes, can’t hold things in my right hand without wanting to move my fingers & hand so much bc my brain wants to do it. Hard eye blinks. Feeling ticklish tingles in my right side of my neck. Anyone else experiencing this lmk.
I'm not sure about nausea but I suffer the rest sometimes i just get shivers suddenly but I mean sometimes it happens almost every 3 minutes? And sometimes I can't help but retrace my notebook writings, and see everyone's face around me it's really embarrassing, annoying and Borden some
I actually looked this up, wondering about if Tics were real or not. It makes me feel bad, but with so many people faking Tourettes and TICS on tiktok and other social medias, I was starting to doubt it's reality. Does that make sense? I hope one day, there's a complete cure for all of these symptoms mentioned.
1:11 so technically,what u said is: if we can inhibit stimulation from entering thalamus a bit; tourette severity can lessen.
I’ve ocd and randomly yell random words (sometimes swear words). Constantly when I’m alone, and sometimes with family and friends. With coworkers and if I’m in public very rarely but it’s awkward if I do. Never been diagnosed for Tourette’s though
i found that when someone call my name or speak loudly near me make me do vocal tics also when i do kind of vipassana (not talking at all ) my tics are completely gone people don't even notice i got tourette until im telling them also im thinking the tics are partially controloble which got me thinking that is not only in our unconscious mind its also in our deep thinking so if im eating with a fork and i got a tic to throw the fork this mean the tic is first created in my deep thinking so what if i can delete my memories of tourette to a mode where i don't even know i got tourette will i still have tics?
Do we know why unwanted signals arrive at the basal to begin with?
Basal Ganglia is the whole thing. He said that the green part suppresses unwanted movements from the purple part. But when you have tourettes, the green parts mechanism is faulty thus it send signal to the part at the edge of the brain. Where these unwanted thought originate is unknown
I had this before when I was younger but it was very mild compared to others. I would do weird things but somehow I controlled it and now I’m 22 and I can live without it. They come time to time when I blink my eyes real hard or have to touch something twice but I tell myself no and it stops.
Ocd
@@dgma626 yes I believe that’s what it is!! As a child u don’t know what it is so u do it but growing up I said this is wierd so I stopped haha.
It all depends on how well you reprimand
that is called tourettic ocd
At my early age I unconsiously blinked too hard and cleared my throat simultaneously I never knew it was a disorder but gradually it stopped I really dont know how it stopped and all of a sudden I realized its over
Mine started when u was 9 or 8 and i still have it today aswell my brother Got it when he was 3 and now hes 12 and he still has it.
This comment section makes me feel so human
That’s a huge market if you can treat it.
This is relatable.
If you have tourette then yes
Seriously, after all these years they still cant really tell why. If you're struggling with tourettes, I would look into finding a naturopath experienced with tics and diet, and striving to go toxic free (and i'm not just only talking about buying organic produce). Anyone with a neurological condition should not be aggravating their system with stuff like MSG, VOC's, lead, and glyphosate; nor should you be offending your system with a low level allergy. Took a kid who started ticcing at age 5 and was on the normal progression to peaking at 12, both vocal and motor tics up to (40/minute) and completely eliminated tics by finding out she was allergic to dairy and really sensitive to MSG.
It is really sad to see doctors and neurologists make patients hopeless because they dont have any answers and their only tool is medication.
I live opposite the entrance to a park / dog walking field, the entrance is visible from my sitting room. I’ve noticed over the last few months even more so what seems to concur with the lockdown of 2020 and now 2021 (I’ve lived in the house for years). a lot more people are cussing to or about themselves and those where the mumbling used to be under their breath is now not so quiet anymore, quite a few more people and at all times of the day. I’m nit in the knowledge or understanding to say it’s neurological but it’s interesting watching people as they’ve changed through the 2020 lockdown, some have barely noticed there’s been a lockdown and go about a day in a normalise way accepting a different way to do things but others are struggling. Probably 150 to 160 people use the park daily and on a busy day it can be I’d say easily 200 to even 300
I meditate, I can recognize when the unnecessary command and can block it (most of the times).
Hey this video has me in it
When I was little like 8 years old I was diagnoses with epilepsy and have to take pills for treatment and stuff then past forward a few years when I was 12 the doctor said I no longer have to take the pills for Epilepsy since the seizures stopped and he said that I outgrown my Epilepsy but then a few months later I did get another seizure, this lead to my arm not working for a while. We went to the doctor again and he said it was just a one time thing and will not happen again but after the seizure my arm started to twich like a lot, sometime it happens ever so often like in a month I have like 4 to 5 of those episode and as I grew older the episode appear like 2 to 3 times a year so does that means I have Tourette? Or is it something else??
P.S: Sorry if you don't understand much of the comment English is not my first language so sorry if there's any grammatical errors.
Ive been having this thing since my Jr year in high school where why head would just twitch or violently jerk. Sometimes it happens without warning, and sometimes if i think about it, it happens. I actually cant tell if i’m doing it on purpose or not.
Also recently i’ve been getting an urge to just scream. Not a loud scream but just an “Ah.” It comes with a weird sensation in my body. I haven’t actually let it out. Im just confused about whats happening.
Can’t wait to start studying neuroscience at university this september:)
Hey man it's September, good luck and do your best okay?? Don't forget to rest too, don't overwork yourself
Hope all is going well... Congratulations, and may you have a successful career in science.
Just to be clear, people are born with Tourette’s but can be Asymptomatic up until a certain age in which they develop tics but not the actual illness itself, correct?
Conventional "wisdom" says you're born with it, and at some point it breaks out. But I've also heard it said (speculated) that physical trauma, as well as drug use can trigger the outbreak of tics. There may still "need to be" a predisposition for tics in those cases, as obviously not every trauma, or anytime some uses drugs, Tourette's develops. I myself developed tics only at the age of 20, and I read about cases on /r/Tourettes where it developed even later.
I wish someone would link tourettes to Restless leg syndrome. It really feels like (only at night) an uncontrollable movement just like a tik. And sooooooo many doctors just don't get it (my guess is no one with restless legs ends up a doctor due to poor sleep!
Woah this just made me look at my brain a lot differently
I have Tourette’s, thanks for the information
There’s a dear friend who has mild TS. Mild but bad enough that she would get severe headaches. From what I understand, WHAT WORKS: Enough sleep. Humming or singing songs. Playing any musical instruments like flute etc that controls your air flow. Breathing exercise/yoga, meditation etc
WHAT WORSENS TS or T; Never try to suppress it. Stress. Bright screen. ONLINE SITES OR APPS THAT REQUIRE SCROLLING. Online shopping can worsen it.
Hello guys! I started having Tourette’s at the age 15 and now am 27. It hasn’t gone away one bit. I’ve been to a chiropractor and had said to take a lot of fish oil. He had stated that it could help reduce the tics; simple or complex like the video had mentioned. Although, it’s not working for me and at this point I’m just giving up. If anyone knows anything and will like to share, please do so!
In the early 80’s I believe it was mostly neurologists that were familiar with Tourette’s. Now, in the US at least patients typically see a psychiatrist. There are several medications that can help reduce the severity. There is an association called the Tourette syndrome association where you can get more info and advice.
There are clinical trials being conducted for a wrist device that supresses/removes tics. It will be publically avaliable in 2026.
The device is being developed by University of Nottingham's School of Psychology and School of Medicine and the trials so far have been very good.
Yes, see a naturopath who has experience in tics AND go toxic free (and i'm not just only talking about buying organic produce). Anyone with a neurological condition should not be aggravating their system with crap like MSG, VOC's, lead, and glyphosate; nor should you be offending your system with a low level allergy. Took a kid who started ticcing at 5 and was on the normal progression to peaking at 12, both vocal and motor tics up to (40/minute) and completely eliminated tics by finding out she was allergic to dairy and really sensitive to MSG.
I can say personally having Tourette’s is “I’m tired boss”
Hmmm. I think this only explains half of what's happening. There has to be a genesis for those tics or random occurring themes. Otherwise the implications is that all of us have these randomly occurring abnormal impulses, and that the sole difference is the functions mentioned in this video. So not only is this partially explained, it might just be speculation.
Coprolalia is not yelling out obscene words. They can be any words. Some but few end up just dropping f bombs and such. I do not use swear words in my vocabulary so my coprolalia is not comprised of naughty and embarrassing words. I am glad I am not one of us with Tourette's who has that and I know it gets tiring and troublesome for some afflicted with it.
I was suspicious about a kid twitching in Instagram so i decided to investigate 😂
I’m here to learn about Tourette’s syndrome because there’s a girl on TikTok that Tourette’s and Tics include up top Girl Scout and wind it up I need to learn more about her condition
wow, thank you for such an educational video. Me and my kids now have a better understanding on why Tourette's occurs
penis
that got me hahahaha
Bro got the whole squad laughing 😐😐😐😐
I have a very bad habit of curse saying and shaking head since my childhood that I still find difficult to stop. Is this a tourette syndrome?
If it’s uncontrollable then yes. I suggest you speak to a doctor about it, may just be coprolalia
There’s someone on Tiktok saying he has Tourette, yet I don’t think so. The person doesn’t have a tic of something, he does impulsive actions like throwing a bucket of water over himself or hosing himself down. What do you think?
No He has Tourette’s
At what early age can we detect Tourette disorder?
Now I know how to stop it.
now i can bully those people that fake disorders on tik tok with all my knowledge
I dont know if i have tics im watching this cause of my arm and leg moving on there own
How is your book going?
Great, thanks for asking! Not a bestseller by any measure, but the feedback and reviews have been positive, and I'm very happy with that.
How can we get it?
Sweet anita
I think I was suffering from this in teenage it stopped after 7 8 years
So Im fucked in this lifetime to get any answers or cures. I dont wanna tick anymore man. Its literal torture.
My teeth are affected too with tooth-pressing (ends up becoming grinding) tics. I have to really really try not doing it otherwise I’ll probably lose my teeth in my older years. Kinda crap to think about lol
I wish there was a cure. I want to ride a motorcycle and learn to fly (my job pays for lessons!). But I can't because of this.
I had rly bad eye and face ticks for ages until my dad would get up me every time I would do it said it looks stupid prolly not a good way to deal with that haha but it def worked when I get rly tired I still get them pre bad but apart from that my tics r basically gone bc of my dad XD it’s uncomfortable af to hold them in tho I remember that from when I was younger haha

Please stop saying “involuntary” muscle movements. It has been known for decades now as “semi voluntary” movements in response to increased input from the body’s proprioceptors. I think this is a very important distinction that is necessary for a true understanding of the condition.
circuitry question
I was debating on if this was even real when seeing people tick on tiktok. Interesting Syndrome. I wish they could control their inappropriate behavior when ticking more.
As someone with tourettes, I'd give the world to stop it. It's hell. But, it won't stop, that's the whole point of the very real condition. It saddens me how much misinformation about the disorder is spread on TikTok. It makes living a lot harder for us who actually do have the disorder.
@@leonardo.diCATio That's very unfortunate. I'm sorry for all you have to go through. I have a medical condition of my own but it doesn't have anything to do with the brain. It's a genetical bone deformity called Jeunes Syndrome. My chest doesn't grow at all so I have annual surgery to expand my chest with titanium rods to provide room for my lungs to breathe. I've had about 20 so far in my life so i guess I could say I'm no stranger to the hospital and the medical area/field
Not a lot of people with Tourette’s actually say inappropriate things as tics. It’s called coprolalia and only less then 20% of people with Tourette’s have it. Not to mention that 1-100 people have Tourette’s in the first place.
I think I have tourette's but I was never diagnosed
My doctor gave me clonidine to help with it and it only works a little
Can somebady translate this to spanish? I think this Its so important
Why does complex Tourette’s cause you to swear though? I guess what I’m asking is how does the disease know what a swearword is? What If you have Tourette’s and you’re a child who’s never heard a swearword before?
it’s the anger part of your brain being triggered. but only 10% of people with tourettes swear
@STONER JORDAN it doesn't have to be a swear word. from what i've learned with having tourettes myself it makes me say or do things that are socially unacceptable, things that are frowned upon. if i never heard a swear word or didn't know what a swear word is, or if we all lived in a society where swear words were not considered a swear, then i probably wouldn't have the urge to say those things. not completely sure, but that's how i think about it.
Tourette Syndrome is a rare disorder with relative tics.
Its 1am here
people with GAD 🤝 people with Tourette's
tics
There are two people with Tourette's in my college class.
My lessons are fun :)
There is at least one person in the comments who sees entertainment from what could very well be pain and suffering in others.
My time reading these comments has become very sad. :(
Why is that weird face inside the brain looking at me like that
Ariel Genevieve Perrier Lee Stanley sauter please help with outbursts
Is it possible this is spiritual?
No it’s not, and it’s not some demon or possession type crap either. It’s a physical problem with a physical brain in a physical body

My Brain trying to process all this: Kill me. Kill me now.
So could you not train your brain to think that other words are bad words?
