extreme ticks hi how are,you,do you have an appointment today,i'll get you to come over this way for,me involuntary movements and noises that,would soon hijack her every waking,moment,it was,offensive,verbal words and gestures,and it just got more and more,explosive,and all the time it was like from the,moment she got out of bed you knew when,she was awake because the whole house,was,loud from the moment she got up,to the moment she finally had her her,tics calmed down oh,there are good days and bad ones,but for mom melissa witnessing the,profound change in her happy bubbly,daughter has been heartbreaking,this,bright spunky you know,fiercely independent young girl,just trapped within her own head within,her own body it's really hard to watch,her,you were

said there's a massive in,front of them,sorry,you talk about the microphone right,um forgot where we were now well this is,the thing i mean it's is it quite,unpredictable living with someone

going on a bit of a yell so,i went in there and she's laying on the,floor and i thought she was having a,massive anxiety attack next minute the,arm flies or the leg starts to do,something and she's like i didn't mean,to do that so it was very scary yeah it,was,it was horrible,mexican,this home video captures that first,terrifying evening,as mickey and her family struggled to,comprehend the involuntary movements,that had started to take over her body,it was kind of like i'd kind of lost,that sense of like control,and,like just in that kind of moment and it,was just a really

Neurologist explains alarming link between COVID-19 stress and Tics in teens | 60 Minutes Australia

so russell you've been treating patients,with ticks for 23 years but something,different has happened lately,yeah,so yeah for 23 years i've been looking,after,kids with ticks,and most of the patients i see are,usually younger children when they start,ticking,and more likely to be males than females,and then at the beginning of 2020,things seem to be changing,i started to see more,females and adolescents who were,starting to tick for the first time,and although they had ticks their texts,were a little bit different,how different,well usually the,kind of ticks were of higher amplitude,so the arm movements would be larger,movements or sometimes even hitting,themselves what do you put it down to,well it seemed,a proportion of the young people maybe,half were saying they'd been seeing,usually on tick tock a few videos of,young women and young adolescents,with texts it's so bizarre i mean it's,hard to believe that simply watching a,tick tock video,is suddenly going to spur,tourettes or ticks in someone,well we think,the same children were watching similar,videos usually on tiktok,and some of these tiktok videos were,seen by millions of young people,in america in europe in australia,and these children the children i've,been seeing started saying similar,things to children in united states and,in europe and i think the pandemic has,been relevant you know why did this,happen in 2020 and so then it gets onto,the story of you know stress uh the the,factors of stress and the effects they,have on young people and how they,present with this unusual text,so why girls and not boys,i don't think we know in truth,it's possible that,boys are expressing,stress in a different way,so maybe we're just tuned into this,because it's so noticeable that maybe,males are,suffering or struggling in a different,way is it possible to develop something,so severe out of nowhere it's very,unusual and that's why it was so,noticeable you know it was it,was so different,to my usual experience of,young children with ticks and tourette,and that's what really stood out there,was something different going on is it,possible to fake something like,tourette's,well it is possible but that's not what,we think is happening this is what we,call a functional neurological disorder,and it's a good phrase because it means,um the hardware of the brain is there,but the way things are working and the,way things are functioning is not right,are you concerned by what you're saying,i'm,very concerned partly because this has,overwhelmed the system i think this is,just one example of the effect of stress,and the pandemic on young people,who we have generally not prioritized,young people,in the last two years,and young people and young adults have,taken a hit their lives have been,dramatically changed,lockdowns,social networks stress,uncertainty,this has been a massive problem i'm,deeply concerned and this isn't one,example of that problem the other reason,i'm concerned is,many of the people even a year or two,later this is still going on you know,some of the patients,have improved completely but many are,continuing to struggle,hello i'm tom steinfeld thanks for,watching 60 minutes australia subscribe,to our channel now for brand new stories,and exclusive clips every week and don't,miss out on our extra minute segments,and full episodes of 60 minutes on,a ninenow.com.eu as well as the nine now,app

TikTok Is Causing A Mass Psychosis

in June 2019 Kirsten muellerval a,psychiatrist at Hanover Medical School,and head of its Tourette's outpatient,Department noticed unusual symptoms in,her new set of patients,to begin with all of them were teenagers,and they were suffering from Sudden and,uncontrollable ticks even though none of,them had any history of the condition,they were all shouting different kinds,of obscenities,mullerval consulted her tight-knit group,of global Tourette researchers and found,out that her newest patients were not,unique it seemed that a shift in,patients and symptoms was happening all,over the world and what was even more,surprising was that it was happening at,the same time,but what really puzzled mullerval was,that most were repeatedly shouting the,same phrase,you are ugly,as it turned out this phrase was the key,to understanding the strange spike in,cases,four months before the mysterious Global,outbreak a 20 year old German suffering,from Tourette's named Jim Zimmerman,launched a YouTube channel in a tick,tock page detailing what it's like to,live with his condition,he immediately became a social media,sensation Gathering more than 2 million,subscribers on YouTube and millions of,views on Tick Tock where he shows his,viewers how his condition can force him,to blurt obscene words or experience,uncontrollable ticks and convulsions,Zimmerman had the tendency to blurt out,the phrase you are ugly one that he,shared with all new style patients,suddenly appearing all over the world,after making this connection researchers,found that all the patients who suddenly,claimed to have ticks were also fans of,Zimmerman,one more vol confronted her distressed,patients and told them that none of them,actually had Tourette's most of them,recovered immediately,but despite their recoveries this case,presented researchers with an,unprecedented psychological mystery,showing how imagined symptoms can spread,purely from Tick-Tock videos,while these teenagers didn't suffer from,Zimmerman's condition something,triggered their minds to believe that,they did and all of the sudden all of,them simultaneously and independently,developed these Tick-Tock ticks,with Tick Tock becoming one of the most,used social media apps today it's,becoming even more important to consider,could Tick Tock be causing a mass,psychosis,before you answer that I want to take a,moment to thank

Stanley reports that the average,painting is selling for 26 percent more,at auction than this time last year and,Bank of America believes High net worth,investors will continue to buy art,despite

The Mysterious Case of People getting TICS from TikTok! (MUST WATCH!)

this girl is trying to get swapped for a,covet test but her body is just not,letting her,eyes,oh God this is impossible this video got,tens of millions of views people were,fascinated in fact tick tocks that show,content just like this where people,probably share about their,uncontrollable movements or ticks it's,now a sub-genre by itself,and when I see bugs in my breath I,automatically got I must kill the bird,they have billions of views and they,call it tick dogs,but tonight farm this is not yet the,reason why we made this video the real,Mystery Begins when we examine what,happened to the teens themselves who,watch those clips because after watching,so much content featuring tourettes some,people started having tics in real life,so much so that over the past year some,clinics reported similar mysterious,incidents one doctor even showed I had,one patient say beetroot which is not a,common thing that people say in the,United States,the beetroot,a simple coincidence or maybe a clue to,the mystery update I got I got a new,check,um as as you can see ladies and,gentlemen stay with me till the end as I,answer the question can you get a,disorder from watching tick tocks,first let's define what are ticks anyway,ticks are short and sudden body,movements or sound usually displayed by,people diagnosed with Tourette's,Syndrome wow yeah,yeah they are often uncontrollable,and sometimes even hard to censor so,let's count together,whoa whoa,one two three,but to many people's surprise something,about the pandemic made it worse because,suddenly doctors from different,countries reported a rise in thick cases,especially among teenage girls some,medical centers which used to see one to,two cases monthly now see between 10 to,20 and one thing that patients had in,common was watching tick tocks of,creators with tick disorders so one tick,tocker writes whenever I see someone in,a video with ticks I have a lot more,ticks than usual I have some vocal tics,but most of them are British because I,only watch videos of British people who,constantly repeat the same thing,patience reportedly blurting out beans,just because someone said it on screen,okay,things certainly we cannot deny the,pattern here,going back to our question can you get a,disorder from watching tick tocks,well on one hand doctors acknowledge,that watching more tick tick tocks can,indeed trigger those who already have it,therefore they are advised to stay away,from this type of content but they also,clarified that many of those who,developed ticks during the pandemic had,also been diagnosed with anxiety or,depression before definitely more,research is needed but now at least we,know even if tiktok was not the only and,main cause it is still one of the,triggering factors,and this is so important to know no,doubt it's beautiful how social media,can educate people about different,conditions and project Nightfall will,always support making minorities feel,seen and empowered I don't think people,understand how painful ticks are when,people think a Tourette's say just think,of people swearing but it's a lot more,than that
