A Day in The Life of OCD

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.

(As always, comments will only be posted with my approval.)

Do i have tourette syndrome

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)
:)

Dealing with Tourette Syndrome in Public

I made this video to answer a question about dealing with the public. Hopefully, this helps to inspire people to go out there and educate the public about TS. And in the meantime, remember to be tolerant of the natural reactions of people with and without disabilities. If we want tolerance, we should initiate.
