A Correction on
Mass social media-induced illness presenting with Tourette-like behavior

By Fremer C, Szejko N, Pisarenko A, Haas M, Laudenbach L, Wegener C and Müller-Vahl KR (2022). Front. Psychiatry 13:963769. doi: 10.3389/fpsyt.2022.963769

The statistical parameters for “complex” FVS were incorrectly given as “(mean: 43, range: 3–200, median: 21.5)”.

A correction has been made to the section Results, MSMI-FTB, Functional vocal symptoms (FVS), Paragraph 1:

“The mean number of “simple” FVS was much lower (mean: 2.2, range, 0-6, median: 2) compared to that of “complex” FVS (mean: 18.8, range: 3-72, median: 15).”

The original version of this article has been updated.
