In this documentary, the inner symptoms of Tourette syndrome are revealed and openly discussed by people who experience them every day.

How does it feel to tic? Why can't a person stop ticcing? What causes vocal outbursts and other extreme tics? Are motor and vocal tics truly involuntary? What is going on inside one's mind during obsessions and compulsions?

These questions are answered in detail and much more is revealed about this mysterious disorder as six individuals with TS take the audience far into the Tourettic mind.

  • I am a believer in Christ and I firmly believe that God does have a hand in our daily lives. I also have Tourette's, and anyone who says it's a demon is just ignorant. I mean seriously... not everything has to be some supernatural force. Tourette's is just a neurological disorder, I can't imagine why that's so hard to grasp.

  • TS is weird, but that doesn't mean it's not me. It's a movement disorder, beginning middle finish. And.. it's a weird one, but that's it. The brain has an extra set of synapse firing for those of us tic-heads. Strangely enough one of the biggest precipitating factors is weather pressure. Many of us are walking (jumping, barking etc.) barometers. You can tell if a storm is on the way if you have a friend with TS. As for meds, no thanx. I don't mind being a bit weird. Better than being flat.

  • @Scudmongrel well i have tourettes to and i *FUCK* think that you *BASTARD* are incorrect.

  • Why dont they post the entire video??? People need to see this stuff. I have ts and just got outta the hospital for head injuries. We need answers

  • Aspergers and Tourettes are NOT in the same spectrum. I have TS, I am educated about TS and it is NOT linked to Aspergers.

  • @fredthesmerff I know someone who has aspergers and tourettes sydnrome.

    they are both in the same spectrum.

    I think that if anyone wants to learn more about Tourettes, The worse thing you can do is read or watch or listen to the people that are only speaking about the Tics. Tourettes syndrome is not all about the tics. If you have several tics you may have a tic disorder, different than having TS. Peace

  • kendall is describing OCD,

  • When I'm alone I have to listen to music or I'll try talking to someone that's not there. And head and neck tics

  • @fredthesmerff i hope so too! thanks so much!

  • @Lyss27PIVI well i'm glad i could help. hope you figure it out! :)

  • @fredthesmerff no i haven't. That's what I was wondering too, if shivering is even a tic, but I think I will get it checked out soon. I'll look up what Asperger's Syndrome is too, so in a way you helped! :)

  • @Lyss27PIVI Have you figured out if it is a tic yet? I do the same thing. I get them like all the time, unless i'm watching out for them, and my head ALWAYS turns to the right. My shoulders shrug and my neck muscles are almost stiff and my head slowly urges over as I shiver. I have Aspergers Syndrome, which is sometimes associated with other things such as Tourette's. So I was curious if shivering was a tic, but i cant find anything about it. Sorry I'm not any help to you! :)
