What a tortured life for people with Tourette syndrome. Its heartbreaking. But how amazing it is to see how the music gives him escape.

"Aside from Tourette's, brain injuries, strokes, dementia , seizures and many other forms neurological damage can usher the onset of coprolalia as well. It is known to be caused by brain dysfunction, but the details are, as yet, hazy. One hypothesis, described by psychologist Timothy Jay in his book "Why We Curse" (John Benjamins Pub Co. 2000), suggests that it's caused by damage to the amygdala, a region of the brain that normally mitigates anger and aggression. Because cursing is a form of verbal aggression, amygdala damage could result in the inability to control aggression, including verbal aggression, or cursing."

My brother has tourettes and its pretty safe to say this guy doesnt have it. The tick of uncontrollable cursing at times of stress is a trait sometimes though this guy shows anger and the want to curse so he is in complete control. Probably a parody.

Sorry, *why* would someone be recording all this? Is it supposed to be a parody of people who behave this way, or documentary footage of someone *actually* acting this way?

This one's close to escaping queue but I'm going to downvote - if there's a big fan base for Tourette syndrome it'll nevertheless make it to the front page, but this time I'm going to have to say "no... that's just not right"
