Monday Motivation Word: Tourette’s

#Tourettes

▪︎Tourette’s syndrome is a neurological condition that causes you to make involuntary movements and sounds called tics. Tics are fast, repetitive muscle movements that cause sudden body jerks or sounds.

▪︎ One in 100 children have some form of Tourette Syndrome or a tic disorder.

▪︎ Less than 10 percent of people with TS swear, which is known as coprolalia.

▪︎ TS is an inherited neurological disorder named after Gilles De La Tourette.

2018 research study looking at the ‘Long-term follow up of patients with Tourette Syndrome concluded that the findings reflect “a positive overall long term prognosis for individuals with TS”.  You can read more about this research here.

Other Tic disorders

Tourette Syndrome is on the spectrum of conditions known as Tic Disorders.  Other conditions on this spectrum include:

• Transient tic disorder or provisional tic disorder –motor tics usually confined to the face and neck although other body parts may be affected; sometimes vocal tics are also present.  Tics only last a few weeks or months.

• Chronic tic disorder – tics tend to persist rather than be transitory and can include blinking, sniffing or neck movements.  Tics occur for more than 1 year.

▪︎ Tourette’s Awareness month, 15th May to 15th June, we want to destigmatise Tourette Syndrome, showing the general public what the reality of TS looks like, dispelling some of the myths that surround it. For this years campaign, #ItsWhatMakesMeTic, we will be sharing real life content as it happens.
