What is Tourette syndrome ?

 Tourette  syndrome is a disorder that involves repetitive movements or unwanted sounds (tics). Tic's typically show up between ages 2 and 15. Tics are quick and non-rhythmic movements or vocalizations that happen over and over. The fact that these movements are repeated in inappropriate conditions is why they are considered abnormal. It has to be repetitive (over and over ) , stereotyped ( happens the same way each time) and also involuntary (incontrollable). Males are about three to four times more likely than females to develop Tourette syndrome.

Tourette syndrome diagnostic criteria include :

-2 distinct motor tics and 1 vocal tic present at some point though not necessarily at the same time.

-Tics must be present for 1 year and before age 18.

The exact cause of Tourette syndrome is unknow , however scientists have found genetic (or inherited) and environmental links . More specifically, there are genetic combinations that lead to the abnormal development of certain brain areas like the basal ganglia and frontal cortex , which also has atypical connections to one another. In addition, disturbances in certain neurotransmitters systems like dopamine and serotonin lead to communication problems between nerve cells. Collectively, these abnormalities lead to an uncomfortable feeling in a body part, known as a premonitory urge ,that the person with Tourette gets rid of by ticking.

Although there's no cure for Tourette syndrome, treatments are available. Many people with Tourette syndrome don't need treatment when symptoms aren't troublesome. Tics often lessen or become controlled after the teen years.

Here is a video explaining how life is for someone suffering with severe Tourette syndrome.

The shameful incident that took place on 14th august (Minar-e-Pakistan)

 Tiktok has been banned in Pakistan several times due to its "vulgar" and "inappropriate" content. However , the users are also considered to be uneducated and talentless by some. 

An incident took place on the 14th of August ( independence day of Pakistan ) where a tiktoker Ayesha Akram was attacked by 400 men who not only tortured her but picked her up , abused her and ripped off her clothes.

Police registered the crime under sections 345 A, 382, 147 and 149 of the Pakistan Penal Code. This accuses the men of assault, theft after restraint, rioting and unlawful assembly.

Officials have also ordered police to take immediate legal action against the men. “The suspects should be traced with the help of the footage,” Lahore police said.

“Those who violated women’s honour and harassed them will be brought within the ambit of the law,” they added.

She claimed she was not wearing any vulgar clothes and didn't had inappropriate content , however some people  believed that her content was vulgar.

Some also claimed that it was her meet and greet where this event took place. Some people believed that it was her fault and that she wasn't sensible enough to go to a place with nearly 400 men and no women. Some consider the men faulty who showed such behavior.

I believe it was a flaw from  both the sides , first of all the women shouldn't have posted vulgar content  keeping her society in view neither should she go out alone in a crowd full of men.

Irrespective of the womens fault , no one gives men the right to behave in such a disrespectful manner. The video clip outburst shame and humiliation.

Due to the incident that took place with a single women w (We condemn that no one has the right to get in physical contact with anyone) but also this very incident can not pose a question mark on CHARACTER OF OUR NATION !

Pakistan is a country with rich women empowerment where women can be seen working with dignity in every walk of life , AND THIS CAN NOT BE CHANGED BY SUCH AN EVENT ! 

 Country is responsible for your security as long as you cooperate , but your safety should be your priority !
