  • Holy mother fucker shit

  • My son was diagnosed with TS. This guy is spot on ... it is the lack of dopamine. I have been giving my son meds to stimulate dopamine production ... not only does it control the TICS it also help eliminate OCD symptoms. This particular drug is not commonly used to control tourette syndrome and would be frowned upon by most. My son also has a touch of aspergers ... at this point I am willing to try many different things to give my child a somewhat normal life.

  • for all of those with tourettes... my son has tourettes and he just began a treatment with an appliance created by dr. sims and it works by realigning the jaw in the proper position and it works!!!! my sons tics immediatly subsided. view on you tube dr. sims and different treatment for it. My son is no longer on medication and is doing wonderful!

  • lol I have motor tourretes (as in I dont shout but I tense up and stuff) and it only comes out when im excited about something or I'm watching something exciting and I'm in a familiar relaxed area like home for example. just finished watching the green hornet, maaan in the fight scenes my body was more tense than joseph fritzell on an episode of cribs!

  • I tense up my muscles a lot and I can't control it. I also blink my eyes like... weirdly. Idk how to explain it. I also stutter a lot, but I only realize it when people point it out to me that I'm doing it.

  • Since when is the lack of dopamine proven for certain? I used to read material that indicated there was an unusual reaction to or an excess of dopamine. I have even heard of dopamine blockers used (with drugs that are not intended for Tourette Syndrome since there is no drug just for Tourette Syndrome).

  • BOB SAGGET

  • @BryceVandergriftsMoM Yes I have many more tics. Motor and vocal. not only do I swear but I also make loud humming sounds aswell. The motor tics I have is shrugging my right shoulder, squinting my right eye and if I am on the computer I slam the mouse (right hand). They have changed over the years though. My TS is very server. I take medication now (Orap/Pimozide) that really helps. I have to be very careful with the swearing around my daughter. I also have OCD aswell.

  • I have corprilaria (don't know how to spell that) along with my other Tics... it's not fun in poblic. There has been too many times where I have accidenatally said the "N" word and there was a black person behind me... I am not racsist in any way at all... and I'm just waiting for the moment I get smacked up side the head from somebody.

  • I am VERY confused about how this seemingly educated man, with Tourette's can say that TS is caused by a "lack" of dopamine in the brain. Every study published has stated, very clearly, that TS is caused by an elevated level of dopamine in the brain. Thus, most treatments include dopamine inhibitors. Beware folks, and read up. This is a very misunderstood syndrome with little headway to treat symptoms.

  • @yamahapianoman I'm thinking that this man is really focusing on the tics.Not the associated disorders/comorbids. Maybe he only has the Tic parts. I would not say that this video teaches about TS. I think it's more that this video is about this man and his life, what he thinks and that is what I get from this video. Maybe he is thinking that people will focuse on the tics, he is showing that he has the tics and is fine with this. I hardly heard him speak about dopamine, fast talker. me too!

  • My son has tourettes syndrome too. He is 16 now and was diagnosed when he was 5. I'd love to find some way to administer dopamine to him through a supplement or something. Does anybody know of any natural therapy that helps with this disorder? I would love to get him off all these chemically based medications.

  • your wonderful! thanks bud

  • Unlimited energy sources are out there!But a few ppl make too many billions from our energy needs to let this technology be known,Find this technology at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Be the revolution!

  • I have found out my son has tourette's syndrome. He is very gifted as this gentleman (intellectually). Sometimes, deficiencies or differences in one are can create gifts in other areas. I know a lot of normal people who haven't been able to finish highschool but this guy is a doctor (consequently with Tourette's)....great video!

  • @brahud FUCK!

  • @brahud can that apply to ADHD guys like my friend

  • i always yell oh shit and suck my dick

  • Sammy Rosenberg is a twat

  • I have tourette syndrome :(

  • @kfdyy pwnd

  • sometimes my legs jerk but not often

  • i think if have tourettes trait because when people start to stare at me but in a negative way i would say like fuck of or some shit like that and turn away and walk of and some one told me when i dunn it like said fuck of to the person i said i dunn nothing and couldent rember i even dunn it after words what would you say i have

  • I think I might have tourettes. I ALWAYS feel like I need to yawn. and I constantly have too. Is this a tic? jw...

  • That was a very educational video and also cool because it showed more truth behind the foul language. Also I like on the monitor BBYO was in the top right corner.

  • Interesting.....

  • what about tape on the mouth ? would it work ?

  • i knew a kid with this. i guess it was mild for him, and so after everyone got used to it no one cared. but he only went "heh" every once in a while, not like swearing or anything

  • Excellent presentation; thank you for sharing!

  • great vid. decent man. God Bless!

  • my brother has like all the symptoms :O

    im sorry but its kinda annoying :/

  • hoyB  how old is your brother?

  • '' Lack of dopamine '' ???

    I thought too much dopamine, too much brain activity in amygdala which causes anxiety depression and tics-deep brain stimulation might help.

    It's a Physical disease, the neurons don't function well.

    The free will is the consience and can direct the brain.

    Jesus Christ died for our sins, you get the Grace of God and the gifts of healing in Jesus precious name.

    Yeshua Ha'mashiach!

    Love in our Messiah!

  • my wife askt jesus many time too heal oure son with tourette. i think wen he died for our sins he really died!! because there is nobody home

  • hoolg once you get into a momentum and acceptace you kind of adjust. For me anyways that is how it was. My committment for my son over rode all the other stuff. It wasn't always easy but God I love my boy!

  • Tomda... Ah I don't think it's quite a physical disease and maybe you mean a medical problem instead. Because Tourettes and it's cormorbidities is NOT a disease. K but hey... GOD IS GOOD!

  • God bless the ppl

  • God DOESNT exist ;)

  • yes he does

  • @kero7642

    Hahahahahahahah prove it or lit yourself on fire

  • I too was diagnosed with this when I was 12.

    I took patches from then till age 17 when I was taken off the drug and my neurologist said that I pretty much grew out of it with the treatment. I still have the urge to have ticks but self control is the biggest thing. Also smoking marijuana helps sometimes.

  • haaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaa

  • dude nt funny

  • Please sir, please read my channel and see if you can help me with some direction for my child. please read the whole story please

  • uhm is it tourette if ur body move without ur will of doing so? like... sometimes(probably thrice a month >.> ) .. i wake up because of my hands/feet etc is doing unecessary movements.. then i saw this subject on t.v. and m kinda scared... [O-O]

  • no.

  • possibly...

    but it might be just minor body spasms...

    does it happen only at night?

  • yes, but 3 times a month only...

    [TT^TT]

  • ok, do you have eye twitches or do you clear your throat suddenly?

    cause if not, then its just small spasms.

  • @roflol2pmdx eye twitches? sometimes... like rare sometimes or idk Dx throat clearing no? i wish it's just spasms...pwease tell me it's just spasms... [O.O]..

  • well....

    it sounds like you do have tourettes, but very minor.

    im not a doctor, but id say your pretty lucky

  • [_--_] is there anyway to make it go away? oh pwease pwease tell me there is Dx

  • hey. i said im not a doctor. im only 12 years old. im just matching your symptoms with tourettes symptoms. if you look at these people that curse and stuff, and think about your symptoms, id say your pretty lucky. as for curing it, im not sure if there is a permanent cure. but there is medicine to stop it, temporarily or permanently, and people say that medicinal marijuana helps too. but ask a doctor though, or a pediatrician or something.

  • no i have been diagnosed with it

  • onoes....

  • thank you for sharing the story.

    I am wondering if you can send me this video clip file. My daughter is working on a project for biomed class. She has chosen a topic about tic disoder and is looking for some type of video information.

    the due is Dec. 8, so it will be greate if we can have it before the night of Dec. 6. thanks

  • I Feel So Bad . My Father has Tourette Syndrome . I Wonder can you die from it ?

  • haha nope

  • assistant director of the Blonder Family Department for Developmental Disabilities at the Mercus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta.

    BFDDDMJCCA

    BF triple D MJ double C A

    Even the acronym for the acronym is too long

  • can not die from it, have your dad smoke pot, good pot his tourettes will go away on my life i guarantee that

  • That's one of the reasons I love it. It doesn't make the tics totally go away, and if I do a lot it makes them worse, but I don't mind them as much when they happen.

  • so it helps with the disorder

  • i stutter but not realy like st...st..st...i kinda like lose breath..im ot sure if its TS or a breathing problem...im 12 BTW

  • wow i just thought that was normal but that has been happening to me alot to man thats weird : /

  • do any tourettes sufferers also have trichotilamania (sp). The overwhelming compulsion to pull your own hair out one strand at a time.

  • i dont have that problem, but it can be really different

  • not u cant stop them they built up then u just go crazy just let it happen i have it its just who i am people know me as i have it

  • I pick at my face all of the time with a pair of tweezers to distract me from my tics when I'm idle. It helps but the downside is that I get sores on my face because I'll dig in one spot. But it's become compulsory. So I have to do it or I'll freak out.

  • you have to start up your ocd to suppress the tics? that's like me playing with my mustache hair with my tongue to suppress my tics. lol WOW we do crazy stuff don't we?

  • I get the same thing. It does feel like a big shiver. It actually feels kinda neat cause it goes all the way through your body (at least it does for me). I don't twist my body though. I just kinda shake my body real fast, kinda as if though to shake the chilly feeling right out, lol! It's not something that happens all the time. But it does happen every now and then. And even on a really hot day. Which I though was weird for a shiver. Thats how i figured out it was in fact TS.

  • I don't have this syndrome but my friend does.

    She's been discriminated and bullied by another kids at school.

    Now i'm gonna show her and my other friends this video to make them understand about this syndrome. Thanks!

  • 4-6 doctors says I have coprolalia and now since church dont believe it I am churchless cause I am not catholic

  • i got tourettes its hard to live with when your a kid i was diagnosed with it when i was 7 (im 22 now) i memba to this day when my teacher used to put up on the board a stroke next to my name everytime i'd twitch each stroke was a minute detention after class. it got to the point where i was in detention for an hr so mum and dad came to school looking for me to find me in the corner when dad aksed what i did the teacher explained what happend i memba my dad beating the shit outta my teacher

  • nice... have u ever seen "Front of the Class" ? it's a hallmark movie and a book by Brad Cohen. it's about that sort of thing...

  • LOLZ Your dad is the man! He did the right thing.

    I also have tourette and I know that something like that can't stop you from repeating the action, even if you know you're going to get punished.

    It's very hard for those who don't have the condition to understand us.

  • dude you're right! i have it and my parents saw me do it and was like WTF r u doing! they understood me when i was 7.

  • Is it weird to have 3 motor tics (head jerking, shoulder shrugs, and muscle tensing) but no vocal tics?

  • me to. i have eye tics hand tics muscle tention.. but noot any vocal.

    im worried if i have tourettes.

  • maybe it's chronic tic syndrome... u just get 1 of the 2 forms (motor and vocal) for a while but never both.

  • u can get both buddy i got it i have it since im born and its sticking and u can have both at the same time

  • no. I have the syndrome but i didn't have vocal ticks until the age of 9.

  • I began to squeek and grunt at the age of about six, but only minorly, its only since i was about twelve that i began to really vocalise

  • I just grunt :D

  • Wow i thought i was the only person like this

    i went to the doctor but she said i that it was a thing that i could stop but its very dificult!

    it just started one day watching a soccer game and i just had to say chuurra (spanish for like "wooooow") and i kept on saying it . since then i started doing difrent things..its been a lot of difrent thing kind temporarily from blinking on purpose or coughing...wow i just want to get rid of this...

  • Seems like tourette to me... and Obsessive-compulsive disorder.

    It really is possible to stop ticks like your doctor told you but unfortunatly, yes very difficult, practicly impossible :\

  • yes thats what i thought OCD

  • I am 66 YOA, and my Tourrette has come back as bad as it ever was for the last couple of years. If you have it, you will just simply have to admit to yourself that you will have to live with it, even if it does not go away. I am a pilot, a contractor, and have many hobbies and friends. Life is good in spite of this anomaly. When you see someone that obviously has TS, and they are uneasy, just tell them that you understand what it is, and tell them to forget about what others may think. huggs

  • I want to thank you so much for this video. I am going to show this to the people that know that i have it (I have a case like yours, its very mild) so they can understand more

  • my friend has tourettes =( sometimes she doesn't even go out in public becasue she has such bad ticks!

  • i have touettes and its hard to live with it i used to cry about everyday and took 100 kinds of medicines but none worked :(

  • I thought Tourettes was treated with dopamine blockers. I thought the current theory was we have to much dopamine or

    a dopamine sensitivity and that this is not not a settled issue.

  • Comment removed

  • thank you for our video. Help to anderstand how is hard to live with it, but give a lesson to poeple thinking is funny, no is not!

  • basshunter has tourette syndrome.

  • i seem to tick more when i go for walks.....

  • thank you for this video....i have this and i feel so comforted

  • Thank you for this Video!!!!

  • I have this disorder and i would like to initiate the problem. I wanna get rid of it.

  • "Initiate" the problem......WTF???
