[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 482405, member: 1550"] Tourettes is not a psychiatric problem. It is a neurological problem. I would take him to a neurologist and bring up his blurting out symptoms. Some people with Tourettes have involuntary bursts of words and they can not control it--unfortunately, they tend to be the most obscene words known to man, but they can't control that either. There is actually a medical reason for why they have to do that. I posted a short description of Tourettes. What is Tourette's Syndrome? With Tourette's Syndrome, which usually starts in childhood, [B]individuals feel an irresistible urge to make sounds and body movements[/B] that are beyond their control. These uncontrollable movements and sounds are called tics. For people with Tourette's Syndrome, [B]tics can be extremely distressing[/B], only bringing relief once they have been expressed. In some cases, they might blurt out obscenities - an element of Tourette's Syndrome that is rare, and one that has been unfairly exaggerated in movies and television shows. [B]Tics often increase with tension, and decrease with relaxation[/B] or when focusing on an absorbing task. Although it is a newly recognized condition, Dr. Georges Gilles de la Tourette (after whom the condition is named) described nine cases in 1885. While Tourette's Syndrome is often thought of as a type of mental illness, [B]Tourette's Syndrome is actually classified as a neurological (brain) disorder[/B]. [/QUOTE]
