A clear, concise version of ‘Tics and Compulsions: The big difference’ with extra information about tics and compulsions.

Many people think that tics and compulsions are on different ends on the same spectrum. Although they are connected in some ways and people with either Tourette syndrome or obsessive compulsive disorder will often have traits of the other, tics and compulsions are different in that they are responses to different things.

PLEASE NOTE: I begin by explaining my previous theory and then explain my revised theory and end with some more insights into tics and compulsions.

Please note that this video is based on personal theory and not medical or scientific fact.

None of my videos are for sympathy, just for education.
This is not a comedy. If you are looking for something to laugh at, please go elsewhere.
If you have any (polite, respectful, genuine, mature) questions, please go ahead and ask and I’ll do my best to try and answer them for you :)

I’m worried that it’s still seizures, she has them everyday, sometimes all day long, one right after another. Are these ticks, or seizures? Worried.
