I dont have tourrettes, but I have a movement disorder. Some kind of dystonia. I wish I understood what's going on with me the way you do.

Interesting. Very well explained.

Hello Melissa, Thanks so much for the compliment. I'm deeply saddened that you have been unable to figure out what's happening with you. I've done a lot of research on movement disorders, most of which hasn't appeared in my videos yet. I will watch your vids, but also, if you'd like, send me a message with a description of your disorder. If I have anything for you, I'll tell you everything I can. All the best!

Very good video. You explained that very well. I never understand how the serotonin and dopamine worked in the neurons, and I never fully understood it in my psychology book.... But watching your video, I understand it now!! Thanks for explaining it so well. :)

Thanks! I think the books are far too often by the medical professional or professors themselves, when they should be written by a writer who could put words into a form that everyone can understand. I'm so glad you found this helpful.

And if you ever have questions, feel free to ask. I've been doing a lot of research, and I'd love a reason to do more.

Thank you! I really appreciate it. I hope to put together an animated demonstration of tics in action. I'll let you know when I do.
