Tourette Syndrome and Suicide

Suicide and Tourette Syndrome

In adolescence as well as adults, and early adulthood, patients with Tourette Syndrome frequently come to feel that their social isolation, vocational or academic failure and embarrassing symptoms are more than they can bear. At times, a small number may consider and attempt suicide. Conversely, some patients with the most bizarre and disruptive symptomatology may achieve excellent social, academic and vocational adjustment.

If you are or you suspect that a person is suicidal, and you don't know what to do, get professional advice or help immediately.
