US singer-songwriter talks about huge effort of controlling her behaviour, in interview with Amy Poehler
Billie Eilish has said she is “doing everything I can” to suppress her Tourette syndrome.
The singer-songwriter, who was 11 when she was diagnosed with TS, told of how frustrating it can be when others do not understand the condition.
TS causes involuntary sudden, repetitive sounds or movements known as tics, which can be triggered by different things including stress, excitement or tiredness, according to the NHS website.
Speaking to Amy Poehler on her Good Hang podcast, the 24-year-old singer spoke about living with the condition and said: “I do have Tourette’s and I have vocal tics but, luckily for me and for everyone else, they’re mostly just noises and I can keep them pretty quiet.
