Hey So I Just Saw A Post About Physical Disabilities And It Mentioned Tourettes And Now I'm Interested

hey so I just saw a post about physical disabilities and it mentioned tourettes and now I'm interested - is it physical or mental? The answer I'll probably get is "both" but I want to know more.

If I use the wrong word or say something outright false or hurtful I apologize and I will edit this post upon request. Current thoughts below the cut

Physical - it affects impulse control, right? Not, like, impulsiveness as a personality but nerves firing in ways that they do not for people without tourettes. And it moves your body, your lips, your fingers, all that. I don't think it changes the way you think, or the way you feel, or the way you respond emotionally, but I don't actually know. @patlikesart argues that tourettes is physical, but tics can be triggered by a mental illness such as anxiety. @merricat, as someone suffering from no other mental illnesses or disabilities, furthers the physical disability argument for tourettes in saying that tourettes can just fire without the assistance from anxiety, depression, etc. Mental affects from it are referred to as "Neuropsychiatric" and are individual, despite stemming from neurological disorders.

Mental - it affects your nerves. For an octopus, most of their brains are spread out along their body as their nerves. Do nerves count as part of your brain? Tourettes doesn't affect muscle tissue or bones, it's just the nerves controlling those things. Where is the split between mind and body?

Again, if you want something updated, added, worded differently, removed, just tell me and I'll get on that.
