Embedded Files
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by multiple TICS.
TICS are uncontrollable movements (Motor Tics) and vocalizations (Vocal Tics).
To a lot of Filipinos, tics are often mistaken as Mannerisms. They are not.
It is not a disorder or disease of the "nerves" or the "mind".
Motor and vocal tics caused by TS are neurological — caused by an imbalance in certain brain chemicals. It is wrong to refer to TS Tics as "psychological" or "behavioral".
Ang Tourette Syndrome (TS) ay isang karamdamang neurological (sa nervous system, hindi sakit sa pag-iisip). Ang mga nakikitang sintomas sa isang taong may TS ay tinatawag na TICS.
Ang mga TICS ay ang mga hindi mapigilang pagkilos (Motor Tics) at tunog (Vocal Tics).
Madalas, ang mga tics ay napagkakamalan ng maraming Pilipino na Mannerisms. 'Yan ay mali.
Hindi rin ito sakit sa "nerves" o sakit sa pag-iisip.
Ang mga motor at vocal tics na sanhi ng TS ay neurological — resulta ng imbalance ng ilang kemikal sa utak. Hindi tama na tawaging "psychological" o "behavioral" ang mga TS Tics.
