Artwork of Tourette syndrome sufferer speaking
Tourette syndrome. Artwork representation of a Tourette syndrome sufferer shocking and puzzling another figure as he speaks. Tourette syndrome is named after Gilles de la Tourette, the French neurologist who first described it. It starts in childhood with repetitive tics and grimaces, usually of the head and neck. Involuntary barks, grunts, or other noises usually appear as the disease progresses. In about half the cases the sufferer involuntarily uses obscene speech (coprolalia) as is depicted here. The syndrome is of lifelong duration but certain antipsychotic drugs can provide some relief

EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking artwork captures the essence of Tourette syndrome, a neurological disorder named after Gilles de la Tourette. The print portrays a Tourette syndrome sufferer engaged in conversation, while simultaneously shocking and puzzling another figure with their involuntary tics and vocalizations. Tourette syndrome typically manifests during childhood, characterized by repetitive tics and grimaces primarily affecting the head and neck. As the condition progresses, uncontrollable barks, grunts, or other noises may also emerge. In approximately half of all cases, individuals involuntarily use obscene speech known as coprolalia - an aspect depicted in this artwork. The lifelong nature of this syndrome can be challenging for those affected; however, certain antipsychotic medications offer some relief from its symptoms. This powerful image serves as a reminder that despite the difficulties faced by individuals with Tourette syndrome, there is hope through medical intervention. Science Photo Library presents this print to shed light on the complexities surrounding this disorder. By showcasing both the artistic representation and scientific understanding of Tourette syndrome's impact on communication and behavior, it aims to foster greater awareness and empathy towards those living with this condition.
