For those of you like me with Tourette's Syndrome.....does this ring true for you?
Question:
"Certain stressful processes during gestation (pregnancy) or at the time of birth may increase the chance for a person to develop TS. Other non-genetic factors that may predispose a person to TS include: severe psychological trauma, recurrent daily stresses, extreme emotional excitement...."
I was thinking the especially the severe psychological trauma part. My parents divorced when I was 3 and their relationship was violent. Then I lived with daily stress caused by a stepfather who was too harsh. I am always trying to get to the bottom of the root cause. I have always thought my case of TS was "brought out" because of stress.
I am not asking for personal stories unless you want to share one. I just want to know if you have Tourette's do you think this could be the cause of your case? I hope this question is not too personal.
Answers:
Sounds right to me
Other Answers:
Nope. Touretts is neurological and you are born with it. Now, mind you, stress can increase tics.
