News items on 'Gilles De La Tourette Syndrome'
Oh, d***
(BBC 14/10/2009)
Former nightclub bouncer Paul Stevenson was busying himself as a stay-at-home dad when Tourette syndrome turned his life upside down at age 46. Until the start of this year he had shown no signs of the expletive-laden and often "bizarre" outbursts which now form a constant part of his daily routine. The father-of-three now shouts "I'm a gay man" as he wakes next to his wife in the morning and can't prevent himself from swearing in front of his young children.

Few lives can have been so transformed by an hour of television. When John Davidson sat down to watch the BBC's QED programme about his condition, John's Not Mad, in 1989, he was a lonely 16-year-old boy with such severe Tourette Syndrome that he was too scared to venture outside and face people. Viewers of the documentary saw how his uncontrollable foul-mouthed outbursts and violent body jerks denied him a normal life.
