Tourette Syndrome in the Media: Billie Eilish etc

[Chemar]

I've noticed a recent increase in media coverage of Tourette Syndrome - likely in no small part due to Billie Eilish being so candid about life with TS - especially in her recent interview with David Letterman on Netflix. A lot more people are talking TS - which will hopefully foster more understanding.

Today I saw this BBC article on a young lady in Wales who decided to write about her life with TS

One thing that really bothered me tho is that there is still such a closed aspect to TS treatment.. It's almost a quarter century since my son was first diagnosed TS - and still so little real progress in the recognition of the multi-faceted approaches that can be helpful beyond just "medications and behavioral therapy".

Hopefully change may be in the air tho..........
