    My brother has Tourette's syndrome, he's 12 and is having lots of problems. He's been depressed for a while because he's different from everyone else. He told me this video made him feel a lot better about himself.

      @@grantnolan7128They’ve actually found that most people will still have subtle tics, even if it appears they have outgrown them. There has also been no longitudinal studies longer than 10 years even though there are a lot of accounts from adults who have had their tics return in middle age.

  • @jesuishani3253
    @jesuishani3253 7 років тому +4039

    Aside from all the Caspar fan girling etc I think it's really important to recognise and truly appreciate what this guy has done here. Often a small range of mental health issues are discussed on UA-cam, usually around depression or anxiety but many neurological disorders are overlooked and are still taboo so, for someone like Caspar who's built his audience on a more comedic basis to speak out about such a hugely important topic is truly wonderful

    My own grandma has been ashamed to be around me acting like a child even though I can't help it.
    My Tourette's has led to severe anxiety but this video has clearly given me hope. I understand. I get it I really really do. I thank you even though no one will see this. You are so successful and it gives me the hope that I can be too. Thank you😄😊

    I was diagnosed with Tourette's when I was in first grade. I've had my fair share of breakdowns because of how much my tics have disturbed me in the past, but today I am actually really grateful for my tics. The motor tics have taught me to stay balanced mentally and physically, and to take things step by step.
    And to Caspar, I never guessed that you also had tics! Thank you for making this beautiful video... Not many of my friends know what Tourette's syndrome is and knowing that a youtuber I've looked up to for a loooong time is also in the same boat as me is pretty darn stress-relieving. Thank you.

      MandoAr I can't really say that it feels like anything, really. Like, I have no idea what it's like to not be on the autistic spectrum. Like, I do things that seem perfectly normal and reasonable to me, but others sometimes take offense or think that it's weird. I've been fortunate enough to have friends over the years, who could talk to me about it non-confrontationally, and help me become aware of some of my oddities, so I could get them better under control, and I've studied up and can identify with some of what I read, which makes me more aware.

    When you said 'oh I have to clap' and said you needed to make a funny ringing noise when you were doing your intro...
    If that was to do with your Tourettes it really doesn't come across like that... At the time I thought it was funny and charming, but now I, wondering if maybe it wasn't? I guess these things make you the person your are and shape your personality.

    Thank you for sharing this, someone needs it! I had Tourette's syndrome after I was given adderall as a kindergartner. Apparently no one really knows why Tourette's happens, but my uncle has it pretty bad.. and I got it after a medication! It subsided almost completely after puberty. The doctor said for males it usually gets worse and females they usually are able to suppress it. When watching videos about this syndrome or am around people with it, I do get that "scratch" to "tick". They are tiny, so like you said.. I can't imagine having it on a bigger scale. But know you're not alone! People that mind dont matter and people who matter don't mind! 😊

    I like how you're creating awareness about this. Being a psychology student I didn't know much about this. It's important for people to understand that these issues exist and making fun of people and being oblivious to them is not right. It's great to see that someone with such a platform is using their voice to create awareness. Thank you. I genuinely mean it.

    This video is so, so important to me, for so many reasons. Firstly it shines a light on and creates awareness of a disorder, too often ignored. And secondly, it really gives me hope, as someone with tourettes. Currently mine is at a stage where I'm just beginning to develop swearing tics and tics that are almost seizure like, shaking, spasming, being unable to even walk. I spend most of my time suppressing my tics and trying to downplay how frustrating and serious my disorder can be. I always worry that it won't get better, that I'll always be hindered by this, that I'll never be able to have a relationship, because I'll never want to tic freely around someone. But the fact that you have suffered through the same syndrome and managed to come out of it so successful, confident and content, seriously puts my mind at ease. I don't think my tourettes will ever deplete to your level, but I think that one day I'll be more comfortable in accepting that if others will judge me for it, they're not the people I would care to impress anyway. And to know that tourettes has not limited you in anything you have set out to do gives me so much hope.

    I use to watch this channel back from 2013-2015. I dont watch Caspar anymore but i saw this video suggested to me recently. Ive grown up with my dad having tourettes my whole life and ive just been use to his tics to the point that i barely notice them. Ever since i started watching this channel, i noticed that there was something familiar with how Caspar acted. I realise now that he reminds me of my dad. My dads tourettes were super bad when he was younger but now his tics have dulled down. He still tics a lot but its not the worst its been. I really appreciate you for sharing your story, youre not alone in this situation. Thank you

    I have Tourette’s and it was so nice to see one of my favourite youtubers talking about his experience with Tourette’s. My Tourette’s is so severe I now can’t walk properly and have to use a wheelchair outside the house. It also affects my writing, eating, drinking and talking and it can be really bad. I also have echolalia, echopraxia, coprolalia and copropraxia. So my Tourette’s is annoying to deal with but videos like yours really have helped me cope :)

    I also have tourrettes and have had the difficulty of the stigma that comes with it.
    But like you, have found the positive in it. I have learned to find the humor in it and how not to let it stop me from reaching my goals or define me. I educate people about it.
    I'm an inspirational speaker and try to encourage and help as many people as I can.
    Seeing others rise above encourages my heart and gives me hope.
    May you have continued success as you continue to chase your goals and dreams. Blessings!

    Having Tourette's myself this video really hits me right in the feels. It's not very often that I see people bringing awareness to Tourette's Syndrome, so it really means a lot to have someone as big as Caspar Lee talk openly about it and spreading awareness to everyone.
    I remember when I found out that Caspar had TS as well and I felt a bit more normal, because I never heard of anyone besides myself who had it. Hoping to spread more awareness toward it. Thanks Caspar!

  • @katieavella3442

    i have tourette and it's a family thing we've all struggled a lot but this made me so happy because it shows even with tourette people can be so successful and mental health is an issue not an identity and if you try and focus you can overcome whatever it is. i actually started crying during this just because i've struggled SO much with tourette, anxiety, ocd etc and this shows it doesn't control the person struggling. thank you so much caspar thank you for sitting down and making a serious video it might not seem like a big deal but it means the world to me :))

    I've struggled with Tourette's my whole life, my story is very similar to yours Caspar. It's hard when no one understands you have Tourette's, they think that you're just making noises to be annoying, but we can't help it. Thanks for making this 😊 Maybe more people will start to understand Tourette's.
    Edit: it also makes me so happy to see a UA-camr who has Tourette's syndrome, I'm going to start my own UA-cam channel very soon but I always worry people will see my Tourette's (although it's faded now since childhood) so thank youu

      This is so upsetting!
      PLEASE READ:
      I remember when i was about 9 there was a boy in my class who had tourettes and he couldnt control his actions like you said. Everyone got mad at him and bullied him even some of the teachers as i guess none of them understood his situation. To this day i know people who dont understand and make fun of people like this who really cant help it. Its so wrong. I felt sorry for him and we became quite close friends. Over time we learnt how to deal with it and the people around us learnt how to accept it too! In the end people valued him and respected him. This shows you cant care what other people say when you have tourettes, if you want to move on in life. You dont need to accept them as over time they will accept you.
      I just wanted to tell this.

    I recently developed an anxiety related ticcing disorder and its been really tough dealing with what other people think and managing these movements.
    Mental health and functional disorders are things that people don't really talk about but that just makes it more difficult to deal with because you feel like you're alone.
    I applaud you, Caspar, for discussing your syndrome with such a wide audience and for being so open about it. Thank you. For me personally, it really does help knowing that there are people out there who also struggle with similar things.

    Hi Caspar, just wanted to thank you for sharing this with us all. I've never heard of Tourette's before but my friend messaged me today telling me she started university and this guy in her class kept making noises while the teacher was talking. She said it was loud and annoying and the teacher told them to ignore the noise he is making. It made me sad and I told her to come on here and watch this video. I told her to watch this and please don't treat him any different to any other class members, he can't control it. I'm thankful for you sharing this Caspar. God bless always xox

Some people would say you're not a good role model but you make me feel so incredibly happy. So, thank you Caspar for everything you've done for me without even thinking it, you just turn on this camera and think that you'll upload a video that people will laugh at. But you being you is so much more than that to me, and I know I'm not alone when I say this. ❤️

    This was so brave of you, Caspar! You should be proud for shedding more light on this matter. I was diagnosed with anxiety 2 years ago and up until today I still feel really awkward and would just shut up when somebody asks me what it feels like or whether I'm "mental" which is kinda insensitive but then again... it's normal to have people ask such questions. One day I wish to be brave just like you so I can spread awareness on mental health.

    What an inspirational Video, Caspar. Thank-You! I was diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome in 2013, but had tics the majority of my life. I was seriously bullied for having them to the point I was in a very dark place, but as years gone by I'm proud of my quirks, and understanding it's great to be your own person. The experience made me stronger! The past year I've got them more under control after therapy sessions. Thanks for motivating and inspiring me. Keep up the awesome work pal and keep well!

  • @MaggieGKendall
    @MaggieGKendall 7 років тому

    Everyone loves UA-camrs so much because they're like celebrities we can relate too much more, and I've always thought that was kind of fun, and it was nice to know someone else understood. But the level of connection I have to this is something different entirely, because I grew up with Tourette's too (still have them about the same as I always did) and I so understand how you felt/ feel. I agree that it's different now, grown up, because it's easier not to care what others think and say about it, but it's nice to hear someone else's story, especially someone in a position of influence, because it makes me feel less alone. (Not that I've been 'alone' per se, family and friends are very understanding now, but it's different with someone else who has the same struggles too). Anyway, I just wanted to say I appreciate you sharing your story, there's always a certain comfort in being understood!

    i totally understand this. i had tourette's but i kind of grew out of it. it was super difficult even though it wasn't really that bad so i salute caspar for dealing with it his whole life and getting up the courage to talk about it. especially since it's something a lot of people really don't understand. amazing video caspar.

    I suffer with crippling social/general anxiety and I related to so much of what Caspar said near the end. Sometimes my anxiety will get me so depressed I cant see anything getting any better, but then I push myself do carry on and do something that heightens my anxiety and throws me way out of my comfort zone and even though I feel incredibly physically sick when I'm doing it I feel so much better when I've gotten through it and make it to the other side. Its so true what Caspar said about the world not revolving around you. I think we all put too much pressure on ourselves and need to remember this and just not worry!
