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.
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.
God, you sound like a lovely person...
