The NIH says some of the simple tics include “eye blinking and other eye movements, facial grimacing, shoulder shrugging, and head or shoulder jerking,” while simple vocalizations might include “throat-clearing, sniffing, or grunting sounds.” But complex tics can involve several muscle groups and might combine several movements or vocalizations, according to the NIH. Around 200,000 Americans live with TS, says the NIH, but men are four times more likely to be affected by TS than women.
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder that can cause repetitive, involuntary movements or vocalizations called tics, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NIH). But there was this one interview when they didn’t tell me they weren’t going to cut the questions out, so I’m sitting there answering the questions, and I’m like and then everyone’s like, ‘that’s so funny!’ There were tons of compilations.” Eilish alluded to that situation during her interview with DeGeneres, telling the host, “I have ways of kind of making go away, but normally if it’s a pre-taped thing they cut out the questions, and that’s when I let them out. ’ DeGeneres praised Eilish for her bravery for speaking out, mentioning in the interview that Eilish hadn’t necessarily intended on speaking publicly about living with Tourette syndrome.Įilish first opened up about living with the condition in her Instagram stories back in November 2018 after videos of her tics were posted online, according to Refinery29. I didn’t want it to be ‘Billie Eilish the artist with Tourette's. I just never said anything because I didn’t want that to define who I was. Eilish told DeGeneres, “It’s something I’ve lived with my whole life, and it’s not anything different. In a candid interview on April 1 with comedian and talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres, singer Billie Eilish opened up about living with Tourette syndrome.
