I have a question about it & what happened at The UK's version of The Oscars '26.
My years of getting two-degrees & loads of higher educational courses towards certifications, I was not facilitated (educated)/taught about any thing I can remember about Tourette's syndrome. Of course, it was before Transgenderism & such things have become accepted as it is now, so while such things are not negatives & some would even say challenges (my definition is not negatives, just have to learn to work it out to live life with differences, from what people are willing to accept, & will better who they are)
Is (or are) there a feed (or feeds) in this PieFed website that is for Tourette's syndrome?
Or Is (or are) there a feed (or feeds) in this PieFed website that is broader & encompasses all challenges dealing with minds?

Jesus Christ, dude. I even said I don't know if it is helpful or not. There are kind ways and dickhole ways to respond to someone trying to help. You chose the latter.

I'm quite positive that having Tourette's syndrome can cause many people to struggle with mental health issues from the societal responses involved. But go off.

It is simple, if you were respecting of people Tourette's syndrome you would not recommended, even if your not sure I can find the answer there, a feed about mental health. Are you telling me you do not know it is commonly known as a Neurological challenge or if people with the challenge do not like that, then a challenge with the automatic & controllable (sorry, do not now the proper term for that or better way to put it) functioning of the mind? After it is even explained to whole families on HBO. If so &you were trying to be respectful to the people with the challenge, Instead you would say no there are no feeds.
What the heck would have you not expecting anyone to respond with that. I am not wanting your reply based upon the above BS reply, whether you are also being assuming negatively of me & helpful or not (it is The Internet after all).

The mental health community is for people suffering from mental hardships for any reason. You can suffer from mental hardship even though your condition is biological. For example, a person who needs a colostomy bag may feel insecure about to and develop something like low self esteem or social anxieties.

Since we don't have any Tourette's focused communities, I linked a community where others share their struggles in life (be they environmental, psychiatric, social, biological, etc.) and people try to uplift each other.

Participating in the community does not automatically mean you have a psychiatric condition. It's a community to share life's hardships and lift each other up.

I already posted that very point myself, in a previous reply here. That is not my point at all, I am talking about the Tourette's Syndrome challenge, not the challenge coming from experiences with the Tourette's Syndrome challenge.

Since we don’t have any Tourette’s focused communities, I linked a community where others share their struggles in life (be they environmental, psychiatric, social, biological, etc.) and people try to uplift each other.<<<<<

AGAIN, my whole point to this thread was about Tourette's Syndrome, which is NOT a Mental Health issue, thus referring to there is insulting to people challenged with living with it & thus probably (because since not doing it, not 100%) a huge waste of time going to that feed. I am going to go to a organization for people with Tourette's Syndrome & get the answer there. A better source, any ways, less Internet message boards-social media effects on information given.
