What is Tourette’s?
In: Biology
It’s a problem of dopamine in the brain. You get an irresistible impulse to twitch or tic in some way. It might be something very subtle like blinking your eyes more vigorously than is common, or it might be more severe, like you have to raise your arm above your head and shake it. Or you may have to repeat a word a lot. In about 10% of cases the person also has coprolalia, where they suddenly shout out a sound or word or phrase that is pornographic or obscene.
