A teen underwent brain surgery to treat Tourette syndrome – and the outcome was remarkable.
This is a story about overcoming obstacles. It is also personal. I was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome at the age of six.
The surgical procedure has helped people with Parkinson's disease, but has yet to be approved by the FDA to treat Tourette syndrome. Callum's tics included screaming, cursing and hitting himself in the head. He also experienced head jerking, face crunching and grunting. And sometimes in the middle of the night, he would be up, screaming. "Even after I got diagnosed I struggled with mental health and I actually tried to kill myself at one point," Callum said.
It is not unusual for Tourette's syndrome to go undiagnosed, but after visiting 30 different doctors, Mount Sinai doctors offered a promising treatment.
