Living with Tourette’s

Tourette’s is a neurological condition that causes involuntary movements and vocal sounds, called tics. People with Tourette’s are often the subject of jokes or bullying. The condition is still misunderstood and even feared by many. Dr Lim Shen-Yang, consultant neurologist and Professor of Medicine from the University of Malaya, helps us to demystify this condition. Ann and Lee Ching share their experience living with Tourette’s.
