The Just A Mom Podcast

Shana shares what it is like to parent a child with Tourette syndrome, a neurological disorder, and the accompanying mental health struggles present in his life.

Show Notes

This is the second time I’ve interviewed Shana.  Yes, this is the same Shana from episode 12, but in this episode, she shares from a personal perspective as the mom of a child with Tourette Syndrome.

Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder (https://tourette.org/), but often those with Tourette also battle mental illness.  Shana talks about the challenges of raising her son with Tourette syndrome and his accompanying mental health struggles.
