This video is about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a neurogical disorder that causes unwanted obsessions (thoughts) and compulsions (behaviors). Many other comorbid disorders of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder are Tourette Syndrome, learning disablities such as dyslexia, depression, eating disorders, etc.

Many people who have Tourette Syndrome also have OCD. So some people may experience tics with their OCD, and some people with Tourette Syndrome may experience OCD along with their disorder.

Also, many people who have OCD have also had depression, eating disorders, and learning disabilities before.

Ok so i think i have some form of tic disorder but don’t know which because i don’t know if clearing my throat is motor or vocal because its different on each website i have seen.
So if you know please answer thanks.

it’s considered a ‘phonic’ tic because it’s a noise, but really, it doesn’t matter which type of tic it is. What matters is how you manage it and if it’s causing you difficulty.

Unfortunately, treatment for tics and tic disorders often comes with significant side effects. There is no cure, and the basic cause of tics, in the brain, is poorly understood…much less how to fix it.

If it bothers you, it’s worth seeing a professional, but otherwise, it’s best to see it for what it is; a tic, that will most likely go away on its own.

Written specifically for siblings of children with Tourette Syndrome (TS), Why Do You Do That? is an age-appropriate source of information for children and adolescents aged 8 to 16. Uttom Chowdhury and Mary Robertson describe tics and Tourette s in clear, child-friendly terms and provide a simple explanation of the biological causes. Other chapters focus on living with someone who has TS, associated features such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and aggression, and what siblings can do to help. The authors also offer practical tips on how to deal with issues such as problems at school and bullying. This book will prove invaluable for brothers and sisters of children with TS, as well as parents and other family members.

WHAT THE VIDEO SAYS/SUBTITLES :p :
so i might have tourettes…i’ve had uncontrollable tics since i was 6 yrs old & now i’m 16.
my tics (now): HEAD SHAKING, muscle tensing/restlessness(ocd), talking to myself/muttering, STUTTERING(inherited) & PICKING SCABS/LIPS (ocd).
i also show many signs of OCD and ADD (which sucks :P).
ive been doin lota research on this since 2 yrs ago wen i saw an episode of my fave show ’south park’ about tourettes.
a great episode cuz it told how tourettes isnt just a swearing tic, & raised awareness about tourettes syndrome :D. b4 i knew bout tourettes i didnt notice that what i was doing wasnt doing wasnt nornal lol.
also, i have metatarsus adductus- my feet go inward instead of outward when i walk & basically all the time.
what triggers my tics (esp head shaking, my newest one) are stress/confusion, being cold, tired, or wen im doing #2 (lol w/e).
even though my tics arent severe & i’m a quiet, “to myself”, (calm/chill) person, there have been times where my tics have been noticed.
unless people (like my family) just dont want to ALWAYS draw attention to it, or assume they’re jus habits that’ll go away.
so i looked up the 3 main types of tic disorders & i dont have transient tic disorder, i think that one only lasts for a year.
nor do i have chronic tic disorder because i have both motor and vocal tics.
if you have tourettes &/or kow alot about tic disorders/neurological disorders, plz reply & try answering my question…
do i have tourette syndrome?
i havent been diagnosed
cuz i havent told my family about this
( u can ask more questions to help if necessary)

I am 19 years old and have been having movement problems every since I was 2. They have gradually gotten worse over the years. I have been diagnosed with Essential Tremor, Motor Tic Disorder, and Dystonia. I feel as though none of these cover what I experience. I believe it looks more like myoclonus. I do have a tremor not evident in this video though. If anyone has any suggestions as to what this may be please feel free to comment.

It might be a good idea to talk to your doctor about this because other members of your family have tics. I hope you will be doing better. Good Luck.

Facts you didnt know about me:

- I Have Tourette syndrome

What is Tourette syndrome? -

Motor Tics- Tourette syndrome is defined by multiple motor and vocal tics lasting for more than one year. The first symptoms usually are involuntary movements (tics) of the face, arms, limbs or trunk. These tics are frequent, repetitive and rapid. The most common first symptom is a facial tic (eye blink, nose twitch, grimace), and is replaced or added to by other tics of the neck, trunk, and limbs.

Verbal Tics - There are also verbal tics. These verbal tics (vocalizations) usually occur with the movements. These vocalizations include grunting, throat clearing, shouting and barking. The verbal tics may also be expressed as coprolalia (the involuntary use of obscene words or socially inappropriate words and phrases) or copropraxia (obscene gestures). Despite widespread publicity, coprolalia/copropraxia is uncommon with tic disorders.

I HAVE BOTH. =(

Magnesium plays an essential role in over 300 enzyme reactions in the human body. All refined foods are lacking magnesium, as well as most other essential minerals. Most Americans eat a highly refined diet and are, as a result, deficient in magnesium. Magnesium regulates calcium transport and deposition into bone. It is necessary for tissue growth and development, immune system health and function, and the maintenance of normal intracellular calcium, potassium, and sodium levels. One of magnesium’s critical roles is in the conduction of nerve impulses and the relaxation of muscle tissue. Calcium and potassium stimulate muscle contraction — magnesium makes muscles relax. This is very critical for heart function as you need ample stores of magnesium to allow for proper heart muscle relaxation. A lack of tissue magnesium has been implicated in cardiac failure Symptoms of Deficiency: While magnesium deficiency is fairly common, it is frequently overlooked as a source of problems. The reason is that serum magnesium levels (the test most doctors use) do not reflect actual body stores of magnesium. Blood levels are kept within the normal range at the expense of other tissues. When deficiency does occur, it is usually due to excessive loss of magnesium in urine, gastrointestinal system disorders that cause a loss of magnesium or limit magnesium absorption, or a chronically low intake of magnesium. Magnesium elimination is increased in people who use alcohol, caffeine or excess sugar, or who take diuretics or birth control pills. Signs of magnesium deficiency include confusion, disorientation, loss of appetite, depression, anxiety, muscle contractions and cramps, tingling, numbness, abnormal heart rhythms, and coronary spasm. Magnesium deficiency can also precipitate headaches, including migraines, muscle cramping and nervous twitches and tics.
