Comments due to Gilles de la Tourette syndrome from which Billie Eilish suffers?
But the defenders of the one who is currently preparing her second album, entitled Happier Than Ever, which is scheduled for release on July 30, say the singer’s words could be blamed on Gilles de la Tourette syndrome. A neuropsychiatric disease, which Billie Eilish had revealed to be suffering from in 2018, which is characterized by involuntary tics, resulting in movements (motor tics) or vocalizations (sound tics). However, at the time, she indicated that his tics were physical and non-verbal. “It’s something I’ve lived my whole life with. I’ve never talked about it before because I didn’t want people to think of Tourette every time they see me. My tics are only physical and discreet“, revealed the singer who won five awards at the Grammy Awards in 2020, on Instagram.
