It's a neurological disorder; not a mental one. If we were discussing Bipolar disorder, THEN it would be appropriate to say its a mental one, but we're talking about Tourette's.
I will correct you until you get it right.
I remember 5 years ago most of my doctors classified Tourette's as a mental disturbance, until they found out at Yale that Tourette's is when electrolytes aren't connected properly inside the brain, it's also when the electrolytes are not functioning as they should, which thus results in the nerves acting as they shouldn't. I am ashamed of saying this though, but I don't have full blown Tourette's. I have a mix of Parkinson's and I am VERY ashamed. Not kidding.
