sure some people may find it somewhat
funny but Tourette’s syndrome is
actually fascinating and misunderstood
disease let’s just get the laughs out of
the way now Tourette syndrome what is
that money but Oh kitties spouse welcome
to watchmojo.com it we’re looking at the
most interesting facts about Tourette’s
syndrome the disorder that had everyone
screaming Bob Saget in 2007 oh yeah
we’re really not trying to make fun of
the condition of world sufferers here we
just want to take a light-hearted and
educational look at it
number five only a small amount of the
syndrome sufferers actually swear I’ll
take you in the fall bitch contrary to
what the Tourette’s guy videos might
make you think ts effers don’t just walk
around the house calling everything
bitch only 10 percent of diagnosed
individuals involuntarily swear blurt
out rude phrases a symptom called
coprolalia which is the cause of TS
remains unclear though it has been shown
that sufferers have an enlarged amygdala
a region of the brain that mitigates
aggression more common symptoms than
coprolalia are tics that include throat
clearing shoulder shrugging or rapid eye
blinking tic disorders are fairly common
in children German researchers found
that one in ten children have one and
researchers in Spain have actually found
that nearly 17 percent of children there
have some form of tic disorder number
four there’s a summer camp devoted to
helping children with the disease
everything is out in the open and almost
anything goes even shouting a summer
camp located in Georgia is helping
children who suffer from TS cope with
the difficulties of living with the
disorder by bonding with other sufferers
it’s like none of us care well like
we’re like the same it runs for one week
in the summer and welcomes children aged
8 to 17 with some older campers entering
leadership programs to help the others
overcome what they themselves battled
the camp’s named camp twitch and shout I
guess a sense of humor is one of the
best coping mechanisms
number three Tourette’s sufferers brains
are structured for greater motor control
you think the opposite would be true
since TS involves frequent involuntary
motions but research suggests that the
parts of the brain associated with
cognitive motor control were more
developed in TS sufferers the findings
published in the journal Current Biology
such as brain training therapies might
also help in controlling tics those
therapies could involve watching
yourself publish findings from one
experimental therapy showed the TS
patient saw an increase in tic frequency
when they were left alone in a room
staring at a mirror but they had a
decrease when watching a tic free video
of themselves number two for many the
condition improves in their late teens
unlike many other conditions the
symptoms of Tourette’s actually fade
with time and many report these
improvements around their late teens or
early 20s and then second grade I was
doing this which got me like put in my
own separate reading corner there’s
still no cure for the disease mostly
because we’re still not exactly sure
what causes it
but because of the nature of the
condition many people become symptom
free around the time they start college
in a paper published in the fall of 2015
researchers from the University of
Nottingham revealed evidence that
suggests that the neurochemical
gamma-aminobutyric acid or GABA is
responsible for suppressing tics a
greater quantity of gaba is produced in
the brain during adolescence and this
might be what accounts for the reduction
of symptoms I don’t want to have it
anymore I want it to stop but I don’t
think it well number one nicotine
patches help to control symptoms and
children so this patch deadly releases
nicotine into my body eliminating my
need for cigarettes the old nicotine
patch isn’t just for kicking that
pack-a-day habit anymore turns out that
if you stick them on children which I
admit sounds like a bad idea it helps to
alleviate their Tourette’s symptoms ts
is typically treated with a drug called
haloperidol that severely inhibits motor
function a study at the University of
South Florida was performed in which 70
patients were given either a placebo
patch or one with nicotine and they
found that the nicotine patch where of
severity and frequency
see of motor tics was drastically
reduced with nicotine doing some of the
heavy lifting a much lower dose of
haloperidol could be given alleviating
its debilitating side effects
yes smoking I mean yes science yeah mr.
white yes science so what did you think
of these facts this camp twitch and
shout remind anyone else or their family
get-togethers like polar suck a bag of
dicks $5 for more misunderstood toptenz
and less effective than a placebo top
