John

John is a young adult with Tourette Syndrome. He suffers from chronic facial and vocal tics, and painful tics in his shoulders and arms. John was bullied at school and has recently been referred to a neurologist.

His tics made his job as a painter and decorator difficult and he was bullied by his workmates. The drugs prescribed to help control his tics cause persistent vomiting. John is now suffering from depression after losing his job.
