People act like Tourette's is some kind of serious disorder but from everything I read it could be described as "the inability to keep oneself from expressing the truth."
It's like the opposite of being a pathological liar, which I believe is a real disorder. But Tourette's just seems like Dr. Tourette had some dark secret and one of his patients wouldn't shut up about it, so he just labeled the guy crazy.
E: [Well great now I've got another conspiracy theory.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Gilles_de_la_Tourette)
>He described the symptoms of Tourette syndrome in one patient and collected previous observations of similar cases, and in 1885, he published a further nine cases using the name maladie des tics for the disorder.
okay... what about his personal life around that time?
>In 1893, Rose Kamper, a former female patient, who was later revealed to have psychosis, shot Gilles de la Tourette in the neck, claiming one of his colleagues had hypnotized her against her will.
Maybe an affair was afoot?
>In 1901, Charcot's son, Jean-Baptiste, convinced Gilles de la Tourette to travel to Switzerland on a ruse, and had him committed to a psychiatric hospital, where Gilles de la Tourette was diagnosed with tertiary syphilis.
That's a bingo. Idk, maybe his wife didn't care, but there's no mention of her getting syphilis, so clearly from a prostitute or a jilted former patient.
It’s funny how the niggers true nature comes out from just that one word. So many of them want him beat, and/or dead across the internet. Some even said, how does he even know that word? His family needs an ass beating to. They say this with a straight face as if they aren’t the ones who put it out in the mainstream all day everyday through every possible media platform in existence. TND please!!!
