Billie Eilish is speaking up about her experience with Tourette’s syndrome.
During an appearance with David Letterman for his Netflix series “My Next Guest

BILLIE EILISH ON LIVING WITH TOURETTE’S SYNDROME

While chatting with Letterman, Billie Eilish
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/billie-eilish/] began to move her head, which she
said was one of her Tourette’s tics. Tourette Syndrome is a nervous system
condition that causes recurrent involuntary tics, such as twitching and vocal
outbursts.

“These are things you would never notice if you’re just having a conversation
with me,” said the singer.

At moments of excitement, stress, or concern, symptoms such as uncontrollable
tics and spontaneous vocal outbursts become more severe. The tics don’t bother
her as much when she’s “focused” on tasks like singing or horseback riding, says
the ‘Happier Than Ever’ singer.

When Eilish develops a tic, people don’t always behave correctly, according to
Eilish.

“The most common way that people react is they laugh because they think I’m
trying to be funny. They think I’m ticcing as a funny movie. And so they go,
‘Ha.’ And I’m always left incredibly offended by that. Or they go ‘What? And
then I go, I have Tourette’s,” Eilish shares with David Letterman.

Throughout the discussion show, Eilish stressed that she is not the only one
having Tourette syndrome. She goes on to say that multiple celebrities have come
up to her to share their experience with the condition. And it always leaves her
surprised.

Eilish says, “A couple of artists came forward and said, ‘I’ve actually always
had Tourette’s.’ And I’m not going to out them because they don’t want to talk
about it. But that was actually really interesting to me because I was like, You
do? What?”
