So I've been wondering about the sudden increase of the tourette syndrome people. I personally have never met someone like that, but according to google up to 1 percent of people globally suffer from it and it ''cannot be considered a rare condition''. So it must be becoming more common, right? Well according to google there has been a tremendous increase of up to 10x in ''tic-like behavior'' in the recent years. Even Billie Eilish, who sang a song ''all good girls go to hell'' and dressed as a demon in the music video, says now that she has the tourettes.
Well what motivates these tic-behaviors? According to THIS medical study the behavior of people with tourettes is described as such: ''The comparative frequency of obsessive, compulsive, and repetitive behaviors--such as obsessive unpleasant thoughts, obsessive silly thoughts, echolalia, palilalia, touching things excessively, touching things a specific number of times, touching others excessively, sexual touching, biting or hurting oneself, head banging, rocking, mimicking others, counting things, and occasional or frequent public exhibitionism--were significantly more common in TS patients than in controls.''
''... Schizoid symptoms, such as thinking that people were watching them or plotting against them, were significantly more common in TS patients than in controls. Auditory hallucinations of hearing voices were present in 14.6% of TS patients, compared with 2.1% of controls (P = .02). These symptoms were absent in ADD patients but present in ADD 2(0) TS patients. These voices were often blamed for telling them to do bad things and were frequently identified with the devil.''
I may just be another religious nut, but to me it seems we should first call an exorcist when such behaviors are expressed and not immediately rushing to give these symptoms some name or attribute them to a syndrome.
