Tourette Syndrom Posted: 07-02-07 13:52pm


Hi there, I'm a 34 y.o. man from the Netherlands, and have the diagnosis of the Tourette Syndrom since I was 12. Although I allready know a whole lot of this disorder, I was wandering about one thing: Are there more known cases of Tourette in particular countries than other, or are there the same amount of known cases on every part of the world?? This, ofcourse, I mean statistically.

Hi there. I am a 35 yr. old male in America. I have had TS for my entire life (my son has it also). According to what I have read, it is most prevalent in the U.S. and Europe. I believe it is due to the reporting and lack of knowledge of the disorder world wide. Statistically I believe (per capita) it is probably the same everywhere. Just in Somalia no one really reports 'tics' to the local dr.
