I had only seen only comment years ago from a psychiatrist saying they "suspected" that Gary may have reduced mental filters - which basically wasn't a diagnosis and didn't give too much away at all at the implications and degrees of disability.

I hadn't even been able to determine which areas of his brain may have been damaged and whether there was opportunity for possible compensation over time to reduce effects.

Tics etc. could be a result of brain damage but not necessarily, they can also be an effect of taking certain drugs etc.

If you could post the sources here I would really appreciate it - could be interesting. It really does help a lot if sources of research are cited.

Personal life

Busey in September 2007.
In 1971, Busey's wife Judy Helkenberg gave birth to their son, William Jacob "Jake" Busey. Busey and Helkenberg divorced when Jake was 19 years old. Busey has a daughter named Alectra from a previous relationship. In February 2010, Busey's girlfriend Steffanie Sampson gave birth to their son, Luke Sampson Busey.

On December 4, 1988, Busey was severely injured in a motorcycle accident in which he was not wearing a helmet. His skull was fractured, and doctors feared he suffered permanent brain damage. During the filming of the second season of Celebrity Rehab in 2008, Busey was referred to psychiatrist Dr. Charles Sophy. Sophy suspected that Busey's brain injury has had a greater effect on him than realized. He described it as essentially weakening his mental "filters" and causing him to speak and act impulsively. Sophy recommended Busey take valproic acid (Depakote), with which Busey agreed.

In 1996, Busey publicly announced that he was a Christian, saying: "I am proud to tell Hollywood I am a Christian. For the first time I am now free to be myself."

In 1997, after recurring nosebleeds, he underwent surgery to remove a golf-ball-sized cancerous tumor from his sinus cavity, and after surgery he underwent radiation therapy.

The rest is by me. I am Pincho Paxton the solver of the Theory Of Everything, and I can be Googled.
