About this title
Storyline
Britain's in the midst of a mystery outbreak of Tourette's. But what's causing this explosion of tics? And why is it appearing out of the blue in young people? In this brand-new documentary, Scarlett Moffatt embarks on an investigation to uncover the potential causes of this medical phenomenon. While typically, specialist clinics receive around five referrals per year of sudden onset tics in teenagers, over the past 18 months numbers have risen by more than 5000%.
