Despite how far we've come in medicine and representation of chronic conditions, many disorders are still not well understood, including nervous system disorders, like Tourette syndrome (TS).
TS, also characterized as a tic disorder, is typically diagnosed in childhood and is often characterized by involuntary sounds and movements called tics. Tics can appear as sudden blinking, jerking of the head, jumping, grunting, whistling, animal sounds, clicking the tongue, and in some cases, swearing.
Research shows that persistent tic disorders (including Tourette syndrome) may affect about 1.4 million people in the US. In recent years, celebrities like Lewis Capaldi, who recently found his way back to music after struggling with TS, have brought more attention to the condition by opening up about their experience. With each conversation, the disorder becomes more de-stigmatized and representation increases.
Capaldi isn't the only celeb to speak out about TS. Billie Eilish, Seth Rogan, and more have also been open about their experiences with the condition. While much is still to be learned about Tourette syndrome, these celebs are using their platforms to bring more attention to the disorder. Check out the stars giving people a voice to their experiences.
