“Y'all don't have to make everything about everything…”   Time has a strange way of playing with the mind and blurring perceptions. For example, 24 years is effectively a quarter of a century, and while that sounds like a pretty vast swath of time, in reality it is merely a tiny speck in the grand scheme of the endless universe. To put it another way, as of the date of this episode in 2025, it has been the same amount of time (24 years) since 2001, which included the launch of Wikipedia, the September 11th attacks, and the very first iPod by Apple.   In keeping with the relativity of time, NATIVITY IN BLACK: A TRIBUTE TO BLACK SABBATH was released way back in 1994, a whopping 24 years after the groundbreaking eponymous debut from Birmingham's founding fathers of metal. At that time, in the early 90's, it seemed as if eons of time had elapsed from the release of Sabbath's debut until the release of this tribute honoring the classic Ozzy era of Sabbath from the 1970's and their collective contributions to the heavy metal canon.    To take the concept of time just a step further, Black Sabbath recently played their final concert (Back To The Beginning) 55 years after the release of their debut album, and it has now been 31 years (as of the date of this episode, in 2025) since the NATIVITY IN BLACK compilation was unleashed upon the metal world, featuring some real bangers from metal bands spanning a variety of subgenres that still holds up to this day.   Discover the proper pronunciation of names which you have been saying the wrong way you're entire life, including “Schuldiner, Peart, and chimpanzee”, hear our latest movie pitch for Rob Zombie, and remember the reason for feeling uneasy when you are unable to “touch bottom” after you JOIN US as we dive in to the first compilation of Black Sabbath covers that was cheekily named after Bill Ward's beard with NATIVITY IN BLACK: A TRIBUTE TO BLACK SABBATH.

Ez itt egy részlet az Európa Leak 2. évadának 17. részéből, amelyben azt beszéltük ki, hogy miért csodálatos jelenleg a Bayern München.

Vincent Kompany csapata eddig minden meccsét megnyerte a szezonban, úgyhogy elmondjuk, hogy pontosan mi változott és miben sikerült előrelépni az előző szezonhoz képest, ugyanakkor a potenciális buktatókról sem feledkezünk meg. A Serie A legnagyobb hétvégi rangadójának a meccsképét nem volt túlságosan nehéz megjósolni, az AC Milan és a Roma összecsapásától pedig pontosan azt kaptuk, amit várni lehetett, még ha egy picit többet eseménnyel is. Emellett Luciano Spallettivel megnyerte az első bajnokiját a Juventus, a Cremonese elleni meccsen Koopmeinerst bal oldali belső védőként játszott, de még ennél is sokkolóbb volt látni a szinte újjászülető Dusan Vlahovicot.A Tourette percekben pedig: ChatGPT taktika, perui túra és madridi szivárgás.

He emphasizes the power of a thorough history, behavioral therapies like CBIT, thoughtful medication use, and lifestyle factors such as sleep and stress.  We also delve into when psychiatry and neurology in general overlap. The episode also covers related conditions—PANDAS/PANS, autoimmune encephalitis, functional neurological disorders, and seizures—highlighting collaboration between specialties and offering reassurance about prognosis for most children.

Holly Wayment talks with Dr. Sheldon Gross about how to tell tics from twitches, common causes and triggers (stress, stimulants, sleep), and simple first steps families and pediatricians can take to reduce symptoms without medication. They review Tourette's criteria, behavioral approaches like CBIT, medication options (guanfacine, clonidine, antipsychotics, topiramate), red flags for seizures or other neurological causes, and the overlap between neurological and psychiatric conditions.

This week, we discuss two surrealist yakuza films from Japanese director Seijun Suzuki. The first is Tokyo Drifter (1966), which follows the reformed yakuza hitman "Phoenix" Tetsu, played by Tetsuya Watari, who is forced to roam Japan while avoiding execution by rival gangs. The second is Branded to Kill (1967), which follows contract killer Goro Hanada as he is recruited by a mysterious woman named Misako for a seemingly impossible mission. When the mission fails, he is hunted by the phantom Number One Killer, whose methods threaten his life and sanity.   Timestamps What we've been watching (00:00:38) – True Grit, The Man in the Iron Mask, I Swear, Matt McCusker: A Humble Offering, Alien:Earth season one, Mobland season one Tokyo Drifter (00:30:30) Branded to Kill (00:51:00) Coin toss (01:12:10)   Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie   Letterboxd – @andycifpod @fat-tits mcmahon   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links - https://www.justwatch.com Tourette's - the highlights - https://youtu.be/KtCG0wG-5E0?si=pD1O000OouhupeCr  Funny cheeky Scottish kid with Tourette's and Johnny Davidson swearing and insulting people - https://youtu.be/Czb7W1VZVZw?si=gu0bXa9k-_8MkRsS  Abused by customer with Tourettes - https://youtu.be/sQ0XJciN6J0?si=XX5wKiWAfXxxVSuU

Erről a Liverpoolnál és a Manchester Citynél most sokat tudnának mesélni, hiszen amíg ők inkább kapják a gólokat rögzített helyzetekből, addig a műfaj királyaként az Arsenal egyre jobban elszakad a riválisaitól. Sőt, a Liverpoolt most már az egymás után három meccset megnyerő Manchester United is megelőzte a tabellán, úgyhogy Bence csillogó szemekkel beszélhetett arról, hogy milyen fontos változtatásokat hajtott végre Rúben Amorim.

Half of working dads feel nervous asking for time off to care for their children, more than 20% have been asked ‘where's your wife/partner?' when requesting flexibility and 44% say employers treat mothers more favourably in terms of flexible working. These are the findings of a new study ‘Barriers to Equal Parenting' by the charity Working Families. Nuala McGovern is joined by Elliott Rae founder of Parenting Out Loud and Penny East, chief executive of the Fawcett Society.Tilda Swinton is one of the UK's most singular and celebrated performers. Over four decades she has delivered unforgettable and varied screen performances, notably Orlando, The Chronicles of Narnia, Michael Clayton and Asteroid City and collaborated with artists and filmmakers. She joins Anita Rani to talk about a new exhibition in Amsterdam celebrating her work and the enduring relationships that have inspired her.There is a new film out now in cinemas called I Swear. It is inspired by the life and experiences of John Davidson, and charts his journey from a misunderstood teenager in 1980s Britain to a present-day advocate for greater understanding of Tourette syndrome. John was also featured in a BBC documentary back in 1989 called John's Not Mad. There is more recognition of the syndrome now, singers Lewis Capaldi and Billie Eilish have both openly talked about living with Tourette's and it's estimated over 300,000 children and adults in the UK have it. The key features are tics which cause people to make sudden, involuntary sounds and movements. To hear more about the condition and how it impacts women and girls Nuala talks to Wilamena Dyer, musician and Tourette syndrome advocate and Dr Tara Murphy, Consultant psychologist in the NHS, and Trustee of the support and research charity Tourettes Action.Karen Carney is one of the most capped female footballers for England. The former Lioness joins Anita to talk about how she is using Strictly to help her 'rebuild confidence' after being 'crushed' by the sexist abuse she faced as a football pundit and her vision to improve women's sport.Bobbi Brown is a make-up artist turned entrepreneur who created her now famous eponymous line in 1990. Her fresh-faced approach went against 80s and 90s trends at the time for bright colour and contouring and instead aimed to celebrate and enhance women's natural beauty. She made millions selling her brand to Estée Lauder and has gone on to create a new multimillion brand. On the release of her memoir, she joins Nuala to talk about her life and work.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Simon Richardson

We explore what Harm OCD actually is (and what it isn't), the many ways OCD can show up beyond common stereotypes, and why so many people experience shame and confusion around their thoughts. We also talk about evidence-based treatment approaches like ERP and ACT, how to support loved ones struggling with OCD, and what it's like showing up online as a mental health professional to reduce stigma and share more accurate information.FOLLOW NATHAN:INSTA: @ocdandanxietyonlineYOUTUBE: @ocdandanxietyonlineSTAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveTHREADS: @trustandthriveFACEBOOK: bit.ly/FBtaramontEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com

James Cameron-Wilson loved #1 Tron: Ares, the 3rd in the series. It has amazing graphics, a great score and is often very funny. He was impressed with #3 I Swear, set in the Scottish Borders, about a lad with Tourette's. A true story boasting great real performances, it is funny and yet heartbreaking; James had to hold back tears many times. Despite the Oscar buzz he was disappointed with #5 The Smashing Machine. Yes, Dwayne Johnson can act and Emily Blunt is super but it's a dull story. James and Simon both recommend the 4K restoration of the massively influential 1981 French thriller Diva, with an embarrassment of extras. And James thinks Netflix's Steve, produced by and starring Cillian Murphy – about a head teacher of a reform college – may be a touch melodramatic at times but is one of Murphy's best performances.

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast sees Alex Godfrey display his versatility as an interviewer, going from utter chaos with Tron Ares stars Greta Lee & Jodie Turner-Smith [22:46 - 34:31 approx] and Gillian Anderson [1:33:01 - 1:43:53 approx] to a heartfelt and passionate chat with Robert Aramayo, star of this week's excellent drama, I Swear, about a man who finds himself dealing with Tourette's [54:06 - 1:13:25 approx]. Either side of those, Chris Hewitt returns to the podbooth after his bout with The Cove, and is joined by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer for a discussion of their picks at this year's London Film Festival, and the film they think might be the best American effort produced this century. They also talk about Ocean's 14, Linda McCartney, and Heat 2 in the news section, and run their eyes over Tron Ares, I Swear, and the dog vs demon horror movie, Good Boy. Oh, and Chris wishes Helen well. Enjoy.

We've got reviews of all the most exciting cinema coming up this weekend: First up, the foul-mouthed and warm-hearted drama ‘I Swear', which tells the true story of Tourette's activist John Davidson's struggle with the condition after a teenage diagnosis. Another indie gem this week, ‘Plainclothes' starring Russel Tovey and Tom Blyth, depicts the dilemma of an undercover cop discovering his sexuality after being assigned to arrest gay men at cruising spots. Finally, the biggest, shiniest and blockbuster-iest release of the week is TRON: ARES—and we're not exactly sure how to pronounce that, so we're going with TRON: HAIRIES. We can't reveal Mark's verdict before you listen... but we can say it stars Jared Leto, and that Mark treats it with the respect that it deserves. Strap in for this one—it's a corker.

This week on Screentime John Fardy talks to actor Robert Aramayo and Writer and Director Kirk Jones about their new film ‘I Swear' which tells the heart-warming, sad and sometimes funny story of John Davidson who, diagnosed with Tourette's at age 15, faced and overcame many hardships from adolescence and early adulthood as a result of what was a little known and entirely misunderstood condition in 1980s Britain. Chris Wasser reviews the week's new cinema releases including ‘The Smashing Machine' and Jim Sheridan's new film ‘Re-creation'.

Most treatments for ADHD rely on stimulants that create dopamine spikes, helping us push through tasks that otherwise feel painfully boring. While these can help in the short term, they don't address the deeper needs of the body. As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD at age 9 and has been working for over 15 years as a nutritionist and somatic therapist, Luis will teach how to use nutrition to restore your nervous system and even create more sustainable dopamine for focus and to get things done. He will also speak to his own journey of bringing Tourette's and nervous tics into remission through balancing diet and somatic techniques, and how those lessons can be applied to ADHD.Get free lifetime access on our Thinkific portal:https://hln.thinkific.com/courses/food-therapy-adhdYou can read more about, and register for, the live 7-week foundational course here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/course Sign up for our 6-month Embodied Relationships group, beginning in October: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/relationship-group----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/ Learn more about the self-led course here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/self-led-new Join the waitlist to pre-order Luis' book here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

John Davidson has been the poster boy for Tourette syndrome since 1988, when a documentary about him called ‘John's Not Mad' aired on BBC One. It showed the then 16-year-old from the Scottish Borders, living with explosive, often sweary tics, in a world that didn't understand the condition. Three decades on, we're much more aware of Tourette syndrome and that's in no small part down to John and his campaigning. Now, a film based on his life - ‘I Swear' - starring Maxine Peake and Robert Aramayo is about to be released.In this episode, John talks to Emma Tracey about the challenges of teenage tics, being shut in a school cupboard by a teacher so he didn't distract the class, and the impact the physical tics are having on his joints and muscles as he gets older.

This week, I talk with C.I. Jerez about her emotional and empowering novel At the Island's Edge. We dive into the inspiration for the story, how she explored PTSD, and why she chose to write about a single mom who served in the army.At the Island's Edge SynopsisAn Iraq War veteran returns to Puerto Rico to reconnect with―and confront―the past in a heart-wrenching novel about duty, motherhood, and the healing power of home. As a combat medic, Lina LaSalle went to Iraq to save the lives of fellow soldiers. But when her convoy is attacked, she must set aside her identity as a healer and take a life herself.Although she is honored as a hero when she returns to the US, Lina cannot find her footing. She is stricken with PTSD and unsure of how to support her young son, Teó, a little boy with Tourette's. As her attempts to self-medicate become harder to hide, Lina realizes she must do the toughest thing yet: ask for help.She retreats to her parents' house in Puerto Rico, where Teó thrives under her family's care. Lina finds kinship, too―with a cousin whose dreams were also shattered by the war and with a handsome and caring veteran who sought refuge on the island and runs a neighborhood bar.But amid the magic of the island are secrets and years of misunderstandings that could erode the very stability she's fighting for. Hope lies on the horizon, but can she keep her gaze steady?

Send us a textIn this episode, Craig Harper and I pull back the curtain on what it's like to navigate life and leadership with Tourette's, equal parts challenge and comedy. From the unpredictability of Tourette's to the absurdities it create's in everyday moments, we explore how humor becomes both a shield and a bridge.But this isn't just about Tourette's, it's about adjusting to a rapidly changing world. We dive into the emergence of AI, how I use it as my own thought partner and sounding board, a tool I use to sharpen ideas, challenge assumptions, and stay adaptable.We also take a hard look at the hidden costs of rigidly held rules. Whether in business or in life, clinging to inflexible frameworks can choke creativity, crush adaptability, and leave you flat-footed in a world that demands flexibility of thought in order to cultivate meaningful relationships, while thriving in work and life.  This conversation is our attempt at a raw, funny, and thought-provoking, part personal story, part cultural commentary, part survival guide for anyone trying to lead, create, or simply stay sane in a world that doesn't stop changing.Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com

Tics are movements or sounds that are quick, recurrent, and nonrhythmic. They fluctuate over time and can be involuntary or semivoluntary. Although behavioral therapy remains the first-line treatment, modifications to comprehensive behavioral intervention have been developed to make treatment more accessible. In this episode, Casey Albin, MD, speaks with Jessica Frey, MD, author of the article “Tourette Syndrome and Tic Disorders” in the Continuum® August 2025 Movement Disorders issue. Dr. Albin is a Continuum® Audio interviewer, associate editor of media engagement, and an assistant professor of neurology and neurosurgery at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Frey is an assistant professor of neurology, Movement Disorders Fellowship Program Director, and Neurology Student Clerkship Director at the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute in the department of neurology at West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia.

Dr Albin: Hi all, this is Dr Casey Albin. Today I'm interviewing Dr Jessica Frey about her article Tourette Syndrome and Tic Disorders, which appears in the August 2025 Continuum issue on movement disorders. Dr Frey, thank you so much for being here, and welcome to the podcast. I'd love for you to briefly introduce yourself to our audience. Dr Frey: Thank you for having me here today. My name is Jessica Frey, and I am a movement disorder specialist at West Virginia University. I'm also the movement disorder fellowship director, as well as the neurology clerkship student director. Dr Albin: Dr. Frey, I feel like this was one of the things I actually had no exposure to as a resident. For trainees that kind of want to get a better understanding of how these are managed, what kind of counseling you do, what kind of interventions you're using, how can they get a little bit more exposure? Dr Frey: That's a great question, and I actually had a similar experience to you. I did not see that many patients with Tourette syndrome while I was in my residency training. I got a lot more exposure during my fellowship training, and that's when I actually fell in love with that patient population, caring for them, seeing them be successful. I think it depends on the program that you're in. During the pediatric neurology rotation might be your best bet to getting exposure to patients with Tourette syndrome, since a lot of them are going to be diagnosed when they're quite young, and sometimes they'll even continue to follow through young adulthood in the pediatric neurology clinic. However, up to 20% of patients with Tourette syndrome will have persistent tics during adulthood. And so, I think it is important for neurology trainees to understand how to manage them, understand what resources are out there. So, if you have an interest in that, absolutely try to follow either in the pediatric neurology department, or if you have a movement disorder program that has a Tourette clinic or has a movement disorder specialist who has an interest in Tourette syndrome, definitely try to hang out with them. Get to know that patient population, and educate yourself as much as you're able to educate the patients as well. Dr Albin: Yeah, I think that's fantastic advice. You wrote a fantastic article, and it covers a lot of ground. And I think let's start at some of the basics. When I think of Tourette syndrome and tics, I think of Tourette syndrome having tics, but maybe not all patients who have tics have Tourette syndrome. And so, I was wondering, A, if you could confirm that's true; and then could you tell us a little bit about some of the diagnostic criteria for each of these conditions? Dr Frey: Sure. So, a tic is a phenomenological description. So basically, what you're seeing is a description of a motor or phonic tic, which is a particular type of movement disorder. Tourette syndrome is a very specific diagnosis, and the diagnostic criteria for Tourette syndrome at this point in time is that you need to have had at least one phonic tic and two or more motor tics over the course of at least a year before the age of eighteen. Dr Albin: Got it. So, there's certainly more specific and a lot more criteria for having Tourette syndrome. I was struck in reading your article how many myths there are surrounding Tourette syndrome and tic disorders kind of in general. What's known about the pathophysiology of Tourette syndrome, and what are some common misconceptions about patients who have this disorder? Dr Frey: Yeah, so I think that's a really excellent question because for so many years, Tourette syndrome and tic disorders in general were thought to be psychogenic in origin, even dating back to when they were first described. The history of Tourette syndrome is quite interesting in that, when Tourette---who, you know, it's named after---was working with Charcot, a lot of the initial descriptors were of actual case reports of patients who had more psychogenic descriptions, and eventually they became known as tic disorders as well. It wasn't until the discovery of Haldol and using Haldol as a treatment for tic disorders that people started to change their perception and say, okay, maybe there is actually a neurologic basis for Tourette syndrome. So, in terms of the pathophysiology, it's not completely known, but what we do know about it, we think that there is some sort of hyperactivity in the corticostriatal-thalamocortical circuits. And we think that because of this hyperactivity, it leads to the hyperactive movement disorder. We think similar circuitry is involved in conditions like OCD, or obsessive compulsive disorder; as well as ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. And because of that, we actually do tend to see an overlap between all three of these conditions in both individuals and families. Dr Albin: And hearing all of that, does this all come back to, sort of, dopamine and, sort of, behavioral motivation, or is it different than that? Dr Frey: It's probably more complex than just dopamine, but there is the thought that dopamine does play a role. And even one of the hypotheses regarding the pathophysiology is actually that these tics might start as habits, and then when the habits become more common, they actually reshape the dopaminergic pathways. And each time a tic occurs, there's a little bit of a dopaminergic reward. And so over time, that reshapes those hyperactive pathways and changes the actual circuitry of the brain, leading it to be not just a habit but part of their neurologic makeup. Dr Albin: It's fascinating to hear how that actually might play into our neural circuitry and, over time, rewire our brain. Fascinating. I mean, this is just so interesting how movement disorders play into such behavioral regulation and some comorbid conditions like ADHD and OCD. I thought it would be really helpful, maybe, to our listeners to kind of think through a case that I suspect is becoming more common. So, if it's okay with you, I'll present sort of a hypothetical. Dr Frey: Absolutely. Dr Albin: This is a father bringing in his seventeen-year-old daughter. She's coming into the clinic because she's been demonstrating, over the past four to six weeks, some jerking movement in her right arm. And it's happened multiple times a day. And it was a pretty sudden onset. She had not had any movement like this before, and then several weeks ago, started moving the right hand. And then it became even more disruptive: her right leg was involved, she had some scrunching her face. This is all happening at a time where she was dealing with some stress, maybe a little bit of applications around college that she was having a lot of anxiety about. How do you sort of approach this case if this is someone who comes to your office? Dr Frey: Sure. So, I think the first thing that you want to get is a good solid history, trying to understand, what is the origin of these abnormal movements and what led to the abnormal movements. Now, a key thing here is that in Tourette syndrome, and most physiologic tic syndromes, there's a pretty early onset. So, in Tourette syndrome, the expected age of onset is between the ages of five and seven years old. So, to have kind of acute new abnormal movements as a seventeen-year-old would be very unusual for a new-onset diagnosis of Tourette syndrome. However, there's a couple of things from the history that could help you. One would be, were there ever tics in the past? Because sometimes, when you think retrospectively, a lot of these patients might have had a simple eye-blinking tic or a coughing tic when they were a child. And perhaps they did have Tourette syndrome, a very mild case of it. But because the tics were never that pronounced, they never went to see anyone about it and it was never known that they had Tourette syndrome in the first place. If there is no history like that and the movements are completely new, out of the blue, of course you want to rule out anything acute that could be going on that could be causing that. Looking at the phenomenology of the movements can also be very helpful. When you're looking at abnormal tic movements, you would expect most cases of something like Tourette syndrome to occur first in the midline and go in a rostrocoidal distribution. So, you mostly see things happening with eye blinking, throat clearing, sniffling, neck snapping. These are some of the immediate tics that start to happen. We also usually start to see simple tics, as opposed to complex tics, at the beginning. Now, over the course of time, many patients do develop more complex tics that might involve the arms or the extremities, but that would be unusual to see this as a presenting feature of new-onset Tourette syndrome. Dr Albin: Got it. So, I'm hearing that the history really matters and that sometimes, like those, like, first-onset seizures, I imagine as a neurointensivist, we see a lot of patients who've had seizures who think that they're presenting the first time. And then we go back and we say, well, actually they have had some abnormal movements at night. Sounds like it's very similar with these movement disorders where you have to really go back and ask, well, was there some sniffling? Did they go through a phase where they were grunting frequently? Because I can imagine that many children make those behaviors, and that it may not have registered as something that was cause for concern. Dr Frey: Absolutely. Dr Albin: And then the other thing I heard from you was that the phenomenology really matters and that there is a typical presentation, starting from sort of the face and working the way down. And that can be really helpful. But in this case, the family is quite clear. No, no, no. She's never had movements like this before. This is- nothing like this. We promise you, did not go through a phase where she was coughing or blinking, or, this is all totally new. And the phenomenology, they say, no, no, she did not start with blinking. It definitely started in the arm and then progressed in its complex movements. So, knowing that about her, how does that sort of shape how you move forward with the diagnosis? Dr Frey: Yeah. So, really good question. And this is something that I think really peaked during the Covid-19 pandemic. We saw an influx of patients, especially teenage girls or young adult girls, who basically would come in and have these new, acute-onset, abnormal movements. We weren't sure what to call them initially. There was some discussion of calling them “explosive tic disorder” and things like that. A lot of these actually looked very similar to psychogenic nonepileptic seizures, where they would come into the emergency department and have many abnormal movements that were so severe, that they were having a “tic attack” and couldn't stop the abnormal movements from occurring. And we saw so many of these cases during the Covid-19 pandemic that it eventually became known as a distinctive diagnostic criteria with the name of “functional ticlike behavior”, or FTLB. When we think about functional ticlike behavior, we think that these tics are driven more by anxiety and stress. A lot of times, the backstory of these patients, they were in a very stressful situation, and that's when the abnormal movement started. So, a very similar kind of backstory to patients that might develop psychogenic nonepileptic seizures. These tics were popularized, for lack of a better term, via social media during the Covid-19 pandemic. One article is out there that even has called these functional ticlike behaviors as “a pandemic within a pandemic”, because there was such a strong showing of ticlike behavior in the clinics during the Covid-19 pandemic. Although social media was thought to play a big role in these functional ticlike behaviors, we think that there's probably a little bit more complexity and nuance to why these functional ticlike behaviors develop. There is probably a little bit of a genetic predisposition. There's probably some other psychosocial factors at play. And when we see cases like this, the best thing that you can do is educate your patients about the differences between functional ticlike behaviors and tics that we see associated with conditions like Tourette syndrome. And then the best types of treatments that we have seen thus far are treating any underlying stressors, if any of those exist, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to be somewhat helpful. As the Covid-19 pandemic has wound down, we have actually seen a lot less cases in our clinic. And one reason we think is less stressors, less uncertainty for the future, which we think was a driving precipitant of some of these cases. But it also is not as popularized in the media as well. There were a lot of TikTok users in particular, which lent itself to the name “TikTok tic”. These videos are not as viewed or not as popular as they were during the Covid-19 pandemic. One reason being that because we are not all relegated to our homes, constantly looking to online sources of information---just in general, we have kind of not been on the Internet as much as we were during the Covid-19 pandemic---as a society as a whole. Dr Albin: This is really fascinating how the environmental milieu, for lack of a better word, like, really influenced how patients were experiencing, sort of, functional neurologic disorders. In your article you describe really these three baskets of primary tic---which can then be a part of Tourette syndrome---,functional ticlike behaviors---which really were a unique manifestation of stress and anxiety specifically during the Covid-19 pandemic---, and then tics as a manifestation of some either different underlying etiology or medication side effect. So, when do you get concerned about that secondary etiology? Dr Frey: So secondary tics can occur in a variety of instances. I think some of the more common examples would be in genetic disorders. So, Huntington's disease is a really good example. I think we all associate chorea with Huntington's disease. That's probably the most commonly associated phenomenology that we see with Huntington's disease. But we can see a variety of movement disorders in Huntington's, and one of them is tics. So, when we see tics in association with other types of movement disorders, we should be thinking about a possible genetic etiology. If we see tics in association with other neurologic symptoms, such as seizures or cognitive changes, we should be thinking that this is something besides a primary tic disorder. You also mentioned medication use, and it's really important to think about tardive tics. I know we often think about tardive dyskinesia, and the first kind of phenomenology that jumps into our brain is usually chorea because it's those abnormal lip movements, finger movements, toe movements that we see after a patient has been on, for example, an antipsychotic or an antiemetic that has antidopaminergic properties. However, we can see a variety of abnormal movement disorders that occur secondary to antidopaminergic medications, especially after abrupt withdrawal of these antidopaminergic medications. And tics are one of them. There have been cases reported where people that have tardive tics will still report that they have a premonitory urge, as well as a sense of relief after their tics. So, it actually can seem very similar to Tourette syndrome and the tics that people with Tourette syndrome experience on a regular basis. The key here is that the treatment might differ because if it's due to an antidopaminergic medication or abrupt withdrawal of that antidopaminergic medication, you might need to treat it a little bit differently than you would otherwise. Dr Albin: I love that you bring in, it's not just looking at their specific movement disorder that they may be coming to clinic with, that tic disorder, but are there other movement disorders? Has there been a change in their medication history? Have they had cognitive changes? So really emphasizing the importance of that complete and comprehensive neurologic history, neurologic physical exam, to really get the complete picture so that it's not honing in on, oh, this is a primary tic. That's all there is to it, because it could be so much more. I know we're getting close to sort of the end of our time together, but I really wanted to switch to end on talking about treatment. And your article does such a beautiful job of talking about behavioral interventions and really exciting new medical interventions. But I would like to, if you don't mind, have you focus on, what behavioral counseling and what education do you provide for patients and their families? Because I imagine that the neurologist plays a really important role in educating the patient and their family about these disorders. Dr Frey: Absolutely. When we think about treatment, one of the most important things you can do for patients with Tourette syndrome or other primary tic disorders is educate them. This remains true whether it's a primary tic disorder that we see in Tourette syndrome or the functional ticlike behavior that we've discussed here. A lot of times, because there is such a stigma against people with tic disorders and Tourette syndrome, when they hear that they have Tourette syndrome or they are diagnosed with that, sometimes that can be an upsetting diagnosis. And sometimes you have to take time explaining what exactly that means and debunking a lot of the myths that go along with the stigmas associated with Tourette syndrome. I think a lot of times people are under the false assumption that people with Tourette syndrome cannot lead normal lives and cannot hold down jobs and cannot be productive members of society. None of that is true. Most of my patients have great lives, good quality of life, and are able to go about their day-to-day life without any major issues. And one of the reasons for that is we do have a lot of great treatment options available. Another important stigma to break down is that people with tic disorders are doing this for attention or doing this because they are trying to get something from someone else. That is absolutely false. We do think that the tics themselves are semivolitional because people with Tourette syndrome have some degree of control over their tics. They can suppress them for a period of time. But a lot of people with tic disorders and Tourette syndrome will describe their tics as if you're trying to hold onto a sneeze. And you can imagine how uncomfortable it is to hold in a sneeze. We're all able to do it for a period of time, but it's much easier to just allow that sneeze to occur. And a lot of times that's what they are experiencing, too. So, although there is some degree of control, it's not complete control, and they're certainly not doing these tics on purpose or for attention. So that's another important myth to debunk when you're counseling patients and their families. I think the dynamic between young patients that are presenting with their parents or guardians, sometimes that dynamic is a little bit challenging because another faulty assumption is that parents feel they are responsible for having this happen to their child. There used to be a really strong sense that parents were responsible for the tics that occurred in their children, and that is also absolutely not true. Parenting has nothing to do with having the tics or not. We know that this is a neurodevelopmental disorder. The brain is indeed wired differently and it's important to counsel that with the parents, too, so that they understand what tools they need to be successful for their children as well. Dr Albin: I love that. So, it's a lot of partnership with patients and their families. I really like that this is just a wire different, and I hope over time that working together we as neurologists can help break down some of that stigmatization for these patients. This has been an absolutely phenomenal discussion. I have so enjoyed learning from your article. For the listeners out there, there are some really phenomenal tables that go into sort of how to approach this from the office perspective, how to approach it from the treatment perspective. So, thank you again, Dr Jessica Frey, for your article on Tourette syndrome and tic disorders, which appears in the August 2025 Continuum issue on movement disorders.

I was in-the-pocket with this interview, mouth agape and blown away by the brutal honesty and vulnerability that Rod showed during our hour together. I learned so much about two afflictions that can really effect someone's life. Listen as this Rantoul native talks about being a man in the woman's world of hairdressing, drama and acting, marrying a younger woman and the assumptions that come with that, being ahead of COVID protocols, living with Tourette's Syndrome, living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, watching your father pass in front of your eyes and the angel that he still talks to. Emily Harrington, here!

Ruminations and reassurances. Checking and counting. Suffering and stigmas. It's OCD, babes! OCD is now considered one of the most common psychiatric conditions, afflicting 2% to 3% of the general population, and this episode is among our top-requested topics. So we snagged a top-shelf ologist: psychiatrist, researcher, advocate and OCD Neurobiologist, *the* Dr. Wayne Goodman. We cover myths, misconceptions, diagnosis and treatment options for OCD, as well as advice for loved ones. Also: PANDAS, famous folks who are helping break the silence on it, intrusive thoughts, deep brain stimulation, genetic components, links to Tourette's Syndrome, finding the right doctor, and the behavioral therapy that is the gold standard for OCD. And surprise! Later this week we'll have a bonus episode on OCD lived experience with neuroscientist, mental health advocate and OCD-haver, Uma Chatterjee. View Dr. Goodman's publications on ResearchGate and follow him on Google ScholarA donation went to International OCD FoundationMore episode sources and linksSmologies (short, classroom-safe) episodesOther episodes you may enjoy: Attention-Deficit Neuropsychology (ADHD), Molecular Neurobiology (BRAIN CHEMICALS), Volitional Psychology (PROCRASTINATION), Suicidology (SUICIDE PREVENTION & AWARENESS), Post-Viral Epidemiology (LONG COVID), Disability Sociology (DISABILITY PRIDE), Gustology (TASTE), Oikology (DECLUTTERING)Sponsors of OlogiesTranscripts and bleeped episodesBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a monthOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on Instagram and BlueskyFollow Alie Ward on Instagram and TikTokEditing by Mercedes Maitland of Maitland Audio Productions and Jake ChaffeeManaging Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by Kelly R.
