John's not mad the landmark documentary tracing a boy's battle with Tourette syndrome

"First aired on BBC in 1989, John's Not Mad gives a frank portrayal of 15-year-old schoolboy John Davidson's struggle with the most severe form of Tourette Syndrome, a complex neurological disorder little understood by the public at the time. This film explores the way in which John, his family and the local community deal with his extreme condition. The DVD also contains footage from the 2002 BBC follow-up documentary, The Boy Can't Help Iit, featuring John, now aged 31, as he talks about the impact of the original documentary on his life, and how he continues to struggle with Tourette Syndrome."@en
