I'm a 34 y.o. man from the Netherlands,
and have the diagnosis of the
Tourette Syndrom since I was 12. Although
I allready know a whole lot of
this disorder, I was wandering about one
thing:
Are there more known cases of Tourette in
particular countries than other,
or are there the same amount of known
cases on every part of the world??
This, ofcourse, I mean statistically.

Hi there. I am a 35 yr. old male in
America. I have had TS for my entire life
(my son has it also). According to what I
have read, it is most prevalent in the
U.S. and Europe. I believe it is due to
the reporting and lack of knowledge of the
disorder world wide. Statistically I
believe (per capita) it is probably the
same everywhere. Just in Somalia no one
really reports 'tics' to the local dr.
